Permethrin is a powerful synthetic pyrethroid insecticide specifically formulated to eradicate wood-boring insects such as woodworm (Anobium punctatum) and other timber pests. Its mode of action works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, effectively paralysing and killing them upon contact or ingestion. Permethrin targets both adult insects and larvae, ensuring complete elimination of active infestations while preventing new eggs from hatching. Its stability and long-lasting residual effect enable it to remain active in the treated wood for extended periods, providing ongoing protection against future infestations. By deeply penetrating the wood grain, permethrin ensures that even hidden or inaccessible areas of timber are effectively treated, making it an essential component in safeguarding structural integrity and preventing further damage.
Propiconazole is a highly effective triazole-based fungicide that provides robust protection against a wide range of fungal threats, including wet rot, dry rot, and blue stain fungi. It works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, effectively halting the growth and reproduction of fungal spores. This mode of action ensures both immediate eradication of active fungal infections and long-term prevention of new fungal growth. Propiconazole’s excellent penetration into timber allows it to target fungal spores deep within the wood structure, ensuring comprehensive protection against decay. Its low volatility and water-based formulation enhance safety and ease of application, making it a trusted choice for use in both residential and industrial environments.
IPBC (3-iodo-2-propynyl-N-butyl carbamate) is a powerful biocide that targets both fungal decay and surface moulds, offering an additional layer of protection for treated timber. As a broad-spectrum fungicide, IPBC disrupts the metabolic processes of fungi, preventing the development of fungal colonies and eliminating existing growth. It is particularly effective in controlling superficial fungal infections and preventing the discolouration of timber caused by blue stain fungi. IPBC’s low odour and compatibility with other active ingredients make it an ideal component in multi-purpose treatments. Its ability to adhere well to timber surfaces ensures lasting efficacy, even in harsh or damp conditions, extending the durability and aesthetic quality of treated wood.
When combined, these three active ingredients (permethrin, propiconazole, and IPBC) create a synergistic formulation that provides comprehensive protection for timber against both insect and fungal threats. Permethrin effectively eliminates wood-boring insects and prevents re-infestation, while propiconazole delivers deep-penetrating protection against fungal decay, ensuring the structural integrity of the wood. IPBC complements this by addressing surface moulds and blue stain fungi, preserving the timber’s aesthetic quality. Together, these active ingredients form a robust defence system that eradicates existing problems and provides long-lasting preventative protection. The result is a professional-grade treatment that ensures treated timber remains safe, durable, and free from biological damage in both residential and industrial applications.
Before using Wykamol Microtech Dual Purpose Fungicide Insecticide, ensure appropriate health and safety measures are in place. Wear suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, to prevent skin and eye contact. If working in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, a suitable face mask must be worn to avoid inhalation of vapours or mist. Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking during application, and wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after use. Always consult the product label and the Safety Data Sheet for additional guidance.
For roof spaces where bats roost, the active ingredients in this product are approved by Nature Conservancy bodies. However, it is a legal requirement to notify the appropriate Nature Conservancy body before treatment begins. Treatment in such areas must not be carried out while bats are roosting.
Wykamol Microtech Dual Purpose Fungicide Insecticide is suitable for application on untreated or bare timber surfaces, including roof voids, structural timbers, and furniture. It is designed for use on wood that is free of coatings such as paint, varnish, or wax, as these may hinder absorption. The product can be applied to both new and existing timbers, provided they are in sound condition and properly prepared. Severely decayed wood should be removed and replaced with pre-treated timber to ensure effective results.
To achieve optimal results, it is essential to prepare the surface thoroughly. Ensure all timbers are clean and free of dust, dirt, grease, and other contaminants. Any existing paint, varnish, or other surface coatings must be stripped back to allow the product to penetrate the timber. For decayed wood, remove all affected areas and replace them with new, pre-treated timber. If there is any uncertainty regarding compatibility or finish, conduct a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area before applying the product to the entire surface.
Wykamol Microtech Dual Purpose Fungicide Insecticide can be applied using a low-pressure spray, brush, or by dipping. Before use, agitate the solution thoroughly to ensure the active ingredients are evenly distributed. When using a low-pressure spray, ensure the solution is applied uniformly, particularly to joints and end grain areas. For brushing, use a high-quality brush to work the product into the wood grain, focusing on areas prone to insect attack or fungal decay.
Where possible, dip the end grains of the timber into the solution for up to three minutes to ensure deep penetration. Apply the product at a rate of 1 litre per 3–4m² once diluted. Avoid over-application and ensure even coverage across the surface to maximise the product’s protective properties.
The product provides coverage of approximately 1 litre per 3–4m², depending on the porosity of the timber and the application method used. Ensure sufficient solution is applied to achieve thorough protection against fungal decay and insect infestations.
Drying times for Wykamol Microtech Dual Purpose Fungicide Insecticide will depend on ambient temperature, ventilation, and substrate conditions. Generally, the product should be allowed to dry naturally for a minimum of 24 hours before applying any additional finishes or coatings. Good ventilation can accelerate drying times and help ensure the product cures effectively.
As per Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, treated areas must remain unoccupied for a statutory period of one hour following application. After this time, ensure the area is well-ventilated before re-entry to minimise any residual vapours.
Wykamol Microtech Dual Purpose Fungicide Insecticide does not alter the appearance of treated wood, leaving a finish similar to that of water or solvent. For decorative purposes, overcoating with paint, varnish, or other finishes can be carried out 24 hours after application, provided the surface is dry and ambient conditions are favourable. Always test compatibility between the treated surface and the intended finish on a small area before full application.
Immediately after application, clean all tools and equipment with warm, soapy water to remove any residual product. Rinse thoroughly and allow tools to dry before reuse. Contaminated clothing should be washed separately from other laundry. Dispose of unused product, diluted solutions, and packaging responsibly, adhering to local waste disposal regulations.
Wykamol Microtech Dual Purpose Fungicide Insecticide has a shelf life of two years when stored in its original, sealed packaging under ambient conditions. If stored beyond two years, the product should be re-tested every six months to ensure the active ingredient levels remain within specification. Store the product in a cool, dry, and frost-free environment between 5°C and 25°C, ensuring the container is tightly sealed when not in use.
This dual-purpose treatment provides effective protection against both wood-boring insects and fungal decay, making it an essential solution for maintaining and preserving structural and decorative timbers. Proper application ensures long-term durability and protection, reducing the risk of costly repairs and replacements. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and best practices to achieve optimal results.
