2-Phenylphenol, also known as biphenyl-2-ol or 2-hydroxybiphenyl, is the primary active ingredient in Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X, known for its powerful biocidal properties against Dry Rot (Serpula lacrymans). This compound functions as a surface biocide, effectively inhibiting the growth of fungi by disrupting cellular processes within fungal spores, ultimately leading to cell death. It works by penetrating the outer layers of the masonry, allowing it to reach dormant fungal spores embedded within the structure. 2-Phenylphenol is particularly effective in damp conditions where Dry Rot thrives, as it maintains its stability and biocidal effectiveness in moisture-prone environments. Its inclusion in Brunosol 6X is key for creating a durable barrier that prevents reinfestation by fungal spores within masonry. Additionally, 2-Phenylphenol’s broad-spectrum action extends to a range of fungal threats, making it a highly versatile and reliable agent for comprehensive Dry Rot treatment.
Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda, serves an essential supporting role in Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X. Although its concentration is relatively low, it is critical for enhancing the stability and effectiveness of the biocidal formula. Sodium hydroxide functions as a pH adjuster, creating an alkaline environment that further inhibits fungal growth. By raising the pH, caustic soda also enhances the penetration of the active biocidal agent, 2-Phenylphenol, into the porous structure of masonry, allowing the treatment to reach deeper layers where fungal spores may reside. Its alkalinity also helps neutralise any residual acidity within damp masonry, which can often foster the growth of Dry Rot. The caustic nature of sodium hydroxide increases the overall efficacy of the treatment, making it highly effective for long-term Dry Rot control in challenging environments.
The combination of 2-Phenylphenol and sodium hydroxide in Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X creates a powerful, dual-action Dry Rot treatment for masonry. 2-Phenylphenol acts as the primary biocide, eradicating fungal spores and preventing re-infestation by penetrating deeply into the masonry. Meanwhile, sodium hydroxide supports this action by creating an alkaline environment that deters fungal growth and enhances the penetration of 2-Phenylphenol, allowing it to work at a deeper level. Together, these ingredients form a potent biocidal barrier that provides both immediate and long-lasting protection against Dry Rot, making Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X a reliable solution for preserving and protecting masonry structures.
Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X is a powerful biocidal treatment requiring stringent safety measures during use.
Suitable protective clothing, such as coveralls, synthetic rubber or PVC gloves, and eye protection, must be worn during dilution and application, particularly when applying the treatment overhead. Avoid inhaling spray mist, and ensure the area is well-ventilated throughout the process.
Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking while using the product, and take care to prevent the product from contaminating watercourses, groundwater, and surrounding soil. Regularly launder contaminated coveralls, and cover any water storage tanks near the application area.
When the treatment is complete, dispose of any waste material and empty containers safely according to local waste disposal regulations. Unprotected individuals and animals should be kept away from treated surfaces for at least 48 hours or until completely dry.
Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X is specifically formulated for use on masonry and brickwork to control and eradicate Dry Rot (Serpula lacrymans) growth.
It is not intended for use on timber or other porous surfaces. The product is suitable for internal and external brick and masonry walls where fungal growth poses a risk, and it is particularly effective on walls that have been exposed to prolonged damp conditions.
This product is suitable for professional use only, as it requires specialised handling and application methods to achieve effective results.
Effective use of Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X requires thorough surface preparation to expose the full extent of the Dry Rot outbreak.
Begin by addressing the underlying damp conditions, such as repairing damaged drainage, fixing roof leaks, and enhancing ventilation in sub-floor spaces. Clear the area around the infestation, creating a margin beyond the last visible signs of fungal growth. Remove all affected materials, including built-in timbers such as lintels, wall plates, and bonding timbers, which should be disposed of by burning to prevent re-infestation.
In some cases, if removing timbers from infected walls is impractical, they may be treated in situ, depending on the specific site conditions. Ensure that any surface or material that may obstruct the application of Brunosol 6X is cleared away to maximise product penetration and efficacy.
Dilute Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X at a ratio of one part concentrate to five parts water to produce a working solution.
A 4.2-litre container will yield 25 litres of ready-to-use product after dilution. For wall treatment, apply the diluted solution at a rate of 10 litres per cubic metre of masonry.
For walls with a standard 4½ inch (115mm) thickness, use a low-pressure spray to apply 1 litre per 2m² on both sides. For thicker walls, drill holes at staggered 230mm intervals, using a 12-16mm drill bit angled between 30° and 45° for optimal filling.
Holes should penetrate to the centre of the wall if drilled from both sides, or within 50mm of the opposite side if drilled from one side only. Complete the treatment by applying the solution to the wall surfaces; for external walls, surface spraying is required only from the interior.
Cavity walls (11 inches or 280mm) should be treated as two separate walls, ensuring that the cavity is clear and accessible for effective application. In cases where the Dry Rot has spread beneath a timber ground floor, treat the base of structural and sleeper walls and the affected sub-floor area with Brunosol 6X.
For effective treatment, the diluted solution should be applied at a rate of 10 litres per cubic metre of masonry, covering 2m² to 5m² per litre.
This coverage rate ensures that the biocidal solution permeates the full depth of the brickwork or masonry, creating a lasting barrier against Dry Rot re-infestation. Thorough and even distribution of the solution is essential for achieving long-term control of fungal spores within the structure.
Brunosol Concentrate 6X typically dries within 48 hours, though drying times may vary based on environmental conditions.
Treated surfaces should be left exposed for as long as possible to facilitate rapid drying and allow the masonry to ventilate, which will help prevent re-infestation.
If required, re-plastering and other reinstatement work may commence immediately after the application, provided that the masonry has dried thoroughly.
This product leaves no visible residue on treated surfaces, preserving the natural appearance of brickwork and masonry without altering their aesthetic.
Replacement timbers within the treated structure should be isolated from masonry contact by using damp-proof course (DPC) materials or galvanised steel supports, as well as treated with an appropriate wood preservative for enhanced protection.
In damp-prone environments, it is advisable to use industrial-grade pre-treated timbers to BS 5589:1989 standards, especially where future damp exposure is expected.
Upon completing the application, thoroughly rinse all equipment, including spray nozzles, brushes, and mixing containers, to remove any remaining solution.
Ensure proper disposal of the empty container and any residual product according to local regulations. Rinse the empty concentrate container before disposal, and maintain a clean work area to avoid unintended exposure to the biocidal solution.
Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X remains stable for up to two years when stored in its original packaging under ambient conditions.
After two years, it is advisable to re-test the product every six months to confirm that the active ingredients remain within specification for effective Dry Rot control.
Store the product in a cool, dry environment to maintain its efficacy and ensure it remains ready for use.
Effective Dry Rot control requires a holistic approach, including treating affected masonry and mitigating underlying causes of dampness.
It is essential to improve ventilation in sub-floor areas to maintain timber moisture levels below 20%, which is the threshold for fungal growth. For comprehensive Dry Rot control, Wykamol Brunosol Concentrate 6X should be used as part of an integrated treatment plan.
Ensure that ventilation systems are adequate by adding or enlarging air bricks and clearing any obstructions that may impede airflow.
