Once cut down, a tree begins its natural decomposition process. To halt the process, preservatives must be applied when the bark is peeled from the log.

In general, there are two classifications for preservatives, short-term protection and long-term protection. In either case, top-quality preservatives like those from Perma-Chink Systems, Inc. are your best choice to protect wood from damage caused by weathering, insects and rot, and unsightly staining due to mold and mildew.

The objective of applying borates to structural timber is to produce a concentration below the surface of the wood. This concentration should be lethal to the target insect pest thus rendering insurance against the organisms that cause wood rot.

• Use Shell-Guard and Armor-Guard against rot fungus and wood-destroying insects.
  

Available in 5-gallon, 2 1/2 gallon and 1-gallon size.
