The Impel Rods SystemImpel Rods® are a safe, low-cost, EPA- approved decay protection and prevention system for wood poles / pilings. They have an appearance similar to glass rods and are available in two convenient sizes for wood pole protection.
Impel Rods® are molded from fused, water diffusible borates, which are highly effective and well established wood preservatives. They are internationally recognized as effective in controlling fungal decay, termites, carpenter ants, various beetles, and many other wood boring insects. Borates are ìuser friendlyî and more environmentally acceptable than toxic alternatives, such as some fumigants. They are highly toxic to fungal decay and to many insects at concentrations that are not poisonous to humans or other mammals. (continued pg 2 of PDF brochure)
