Remedial Treatments by Osmose
 
Maintain Wood Pole Strength and Durability with Osmose Remedial Treatments

150 million wood poles support the delivery of electricity, internet service and telecommunications in America. Without remedial treatments, these critical assets will weaken until they require replacement or they fail. Osmose preservatives help to maintain the durability of your system by preventing strength loss caused by wood-destroying fungi and insects. Visit the online catalog in the pole and line products section for details and order information on Remedial Treatments.
 
 
Preservative Pastes and Bandages

These products are designed to prevent external decay in the ground line zone—the greatest risk to strength loss. A 10% reduction in pole circumference reduces pole strength by nearly 30%!

MP400-EXT™ employs the synergy of four active ingredients - specifically chosen and formulated - to provide robust protection against wood destroying organisms while also responding to today's concerns for safety and the environment.
 
COP-R-PLASTIC™ combines the protection of copper naphthenate and sodium fluoride and provides excellent protection with only a 1/16 inch application.

PoleWrap™ is a dry-to-the-touch bandage, making installation easy and clean. PoleWrap is available in a 25' roll or in individual pole-sized bandages.

Fumigants

Fumigants are the ideal preservative to protect heartwood and inner regions of poles against decay. Fumigants produce vapors that diffuse and travel vertically and horizontally from application holes, eliminating wood destroying fungi.
 
MITC-FUME® is the most effective and widely used pole fumigant, combining the efficacy of its 97% MITC active ingredient with its semi-solid, slow release formulation and unique aluminum tube application system.
 
DuraFume™ is a crystallized solid-pour fumigant containing 98% dazomet, which decomposes to produce 45% MITC.
 
WoodFume® is a liquid-pour fumigant containing 32.7% metam sodium which decomposes to produce approximately 18% MITC active ingredient.

Solid Rods

Solid Rods are easy-to-handle formulations of water-soluble preservatives. When in contact with moist wood, rods will dissolve and diffuse to protect against internal decay. Rods are ideal for protecting pole tops, inspection holes, spar arms and pre-drilled framing holes.
 
FLURODS™ dissolves more easily than other brands, promoting faster diffusion of its sodium fluoride active ingredient.

Liquid Treatments

Liquid treatments are ideal formulations to apply to internal voids and insect cavities.
 
Hollow Heart CF diffuses internally through moist wood to control internal decay and insect attack Hollow Heart CF contains sodium fluoride and water dispersible copper naphthenate for dual preservative action.
 
Hollow Heart CF Plus adds a highly effective insecticide to the formulation for control where termites and carpenter ants are active.
 
COP-R-NAP™ liquid preservative utilizes copper naphthenate in an oil-based solution to help control internal decay and wood-destroying insects.
 
COP-R-NAP™ Plus adds a highly effective insecticide to the formulation for control where termites and carpenter ants are active.
