An example embodiment of the present invention provides a pole cap for covering an end of a pole. The pole cap comprises a sheet that includes a central portion, a first strip, and a flap that has a slit. The central portion is configured to cover a base surface of an end of a pole. The first strip is configured to fold over an edge of the base surface and circumferentially wrap around a portion of a curved surface of the pole. The flap is configured to fold over the edge of the base surface.

Protective pole cap

Disclosed herein are methods of making solid bodies of dazomet for use in internal remedial treatments of wood and methods of applying such solid bodies to wooden structures and manufacturing such solid bodies. The solid bodies can be easily transported and inserted into treatment holes in utility poles, wooden pilings, and other wooden structures, that can deliver a dose of insecticide and fungicide that combats internal decay in the wood.

Methods of making dazomet compositions

Disclosed herein are compositions including a dispersion of solid particles of a substantially insoluble copper compound, and an organic biocide, wherein at least 20% of all particles of the composition have a particle size greater than 25 microns. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

Controlled release, wood preserving composition with low-volatile organic content for treating in-service utility poles, posts, pilings, cross-ties and other wooden structures

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising a dispersion of solid particles of a substantially insoluble copper compound; a boron-containing compound, a fluoride-containing compound, or a combination thereof; wherein at least 20% of the particles of the composition comprise particles having particle size greater than 25 microns. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

A solid body of dazomet for use in internal remedial treatments of wood and methods of applying such solid bodies to wooden structures and manufacturing such solid bodies. The solid bodies can be easily transported and inserted into treatment holes in utility poles, wooden pilings, and other wooden structures, delivering a dose of insecticide and fungicide that combats internal decay in the wood.

Dazomet compositions

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising a dispersion of solid particles of a substantially insoluble copper compound in an amount from 0.001% to 10% by weight of the composition; a boron-containing compound, a fluoride-containing compound, or a combination thereof; and an aqueous carrier; wherein the composition has a viscosity of 125 to 425 tenths of a millimeter (tmm) as measured using a penetrometer, and wherein at least 20% of the particles of the composition comprise particles having particle size greater than 25 microns. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

A solid body of dazomet for use in internal remedial treatments of wood and methods of applying such solid bodies to wooden structures and manufacturing such solid bodies. The solid bodies can be easily transported and inserted into treatment holes in utility poles, wooden pilings, and other wooden structures, delivering a precise, accurate dose of insecticide and fungicide that combats internal decay in the wood.

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising a dispersion of solid particles of a substantially insoluble copper compound in an amount from 0.001% to 10% by weight of the composition; a boron-containing compound, a fluoride-containing compound, or a combination thereof; and an aqueous carrier; wherein the composition has a viscosity of 125 to 425 tenths of a millimeter (tmm) as measured using a penetrometer, wherein at least 20% of the particles of the composition comprise particles having particle size greater than 25 microns, and wherein the composition contains no more than 36 grams volatile organic compounds (VOCs) per liter of wood preservative coating. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

This invention discloses a wood preservative composition for the supplemental or remedial treatment of in-service poles, posts, piling, cross ties and other wooden structures. The wood preservative composition comprises a slow-release micronized copper compound in combination with a boron compound or a fluoride compound.

Controlled release, wood preserving composition with low-volatile organic content for treatment in-service utility poles, posts, pilings, cross-ties and other wooden structures
