TERMITE BAITING

   
   
   

KORDON is a unique Australian developed product that combines a termiticide and moisture barrier.

It is installed underneath "slab-on-ground" constructions, perimeter and pipe installations, to protect against attack by subterranean termites.

* Extensively trailed by C.S.I.R.O

* Perimeter, pipe and underslab protection against terminates

* Guaranteed correct application rate of termiticide

* Overlaps and penetration are protected by termiticide's high repellency to terminates

* Manufactured and designed in Australia

* Complies with Australian standard AS 3660.1 2000

* Tough yet easy to handle

* long term protection for real peace of mind Kordon Termite Moisture Barrier

Kordon can be installed as a perimeter termite barrier to most building types such as in-fill slabs, waffle pods or slab edge rebates. Kordon TB can also be installed as a termite protection system for pipes and penetrations

The make up of Kordon.

Is Kordon Australian? Yes - Kordon is an Australian invention and is made in South Australia. Kordon is undergoing trials in other countries and Kordon will be an Australian export in the future.

Is Kordon repellent to termites? Yes - Kordon contains deltamethrin a very good termiticide, which repels termites.

Does Kordon leach? No - The termiticide used in Kordon is not water soluble. Kordon will not leach from the webbing. Over eleven years of field trails Kordon has been exposed to wet soil and has shown no detrimental effects.

Does UV damage Kordon.? After 6 months of in-house trials Kordon was not damaged from exposure to the elements. - the trial evaluation was discontinued after 6 months.

How does Kordon stand up to wear and tear on a construction site? Kordon is a very tough material, the 2 plastic sheets and the fibrous webbing make a very durable and robust sheet that is particularly forgiving on a building site.

Is Kordon a DPC (damp proof course)? No - Kordon TB, used as a perimeter barrier is solely a termite barrier. It is not approved for use as a damp proof course.

How does Kordon stop Termites? Kordon prevents the concealed entry of termites into a building when installed as per the manufacturers specifications. The deltamethrin present in the webbing does two things. It repels termites from contacting the Kordon and in the unlikely event that termites try to break through the Kordon they will be controlled by the termiticide treated webbing

. Is Kordon a Moisture membrane? Yes Kordon TMB (full under slab) is a termite barrier and a vapour barrier - it replaces the plastic (Forticon /Viscreen).

Can Kordon be used as antcapping? Kordon can be used in conjunction with standard approved ant capping (it provides a repellent nature to the ant capping).

How long will Kordon last, what term of protection can I expect for my new house? Based on trial work that has been carried out, Kordon has been extrapolated to last a minimum of 45 years to date by the CSIRO. This information is supported by 11 years of trial data - a further extrapolation will be carried out in 2 years time.
