A brief overview of INSECT

Use of INSECT
Clean the affected woodwork before starting the treatment. INSEKT can be applied by brush, spraying or dipping. In severe cases of wood-boring insects, valve impregnation can be a solution. Read more about valve impregnation.
When applying by brush or spray, repeat the treatment 2-3 times, each time to the saturation point. The treated wood can be treated with KOMBI PROTECT and MR60.
INSEKT should be used at an average daily temperature above 5°C and at a humidity below 80% RF. Drying time is approximately 8 hours at 20°C.
Range of the product: 200 g/m2 for preventive treatment, 300 g/m2 for curative treatment and 180 g/m2 for injection.
