Wood Treated Right™

Arch offers a full line of wood protection and enhancement products, such as:

AntiBlu® XP
AntiBlu XP is a cost-effective anti-sapstain chemical formulated for control of sapstain, mold, and decay fungi in freshly sawn and seasoned logs, poles, posts, and lumber, using either dip or spray application. AntiBlu XP can provide short- or medium-term protection depending upon dilution ratio and treatment method.

AntiBlu® XP64
As the latest addition to the AntiBlu product line, AntiBlu XP64 is an enhanced formulation which combines four active ingredients. Like AntiBlu XP, AntiBlu XP64 controls sapstain and mold in freshly sawn and seasoned wood and wood products. Click here (PDF) for additional details.

AntiBlu® F-2
Registered by both EPA and Canada’s PMRA, AntiBlu F-2 is ideally suited to conditions and species found in the northwestern U.S. and Canada. The active ingredients in AntiBlu F-2 have been used successfully for more than 10 years. Recent enhancements to the formulation include new surfactants that provide better cold weather stability.

AntiBlu F-2 is an excellent combination of efficacy and environmental acceptability. Active ingredients are DDAC (didecyldimethyl ammonium chloride) and Boron, both of which quickly break down into harmless materials when they come into contact with the environment. AntiBlu F-2 is effective against sapstain and mold due to the synergy of DDAC and Boron. The combination offers excellent short- and medium-term protection at low doses and longer-term protection at higher doses.

Defoamer
Specifically formulated for use with AntiBlu XP. Only small amounts are required to keep foam from vibro screens, return lines, agitators and other areas that commonly generate foam.

AntiBlu® Diffuze™  Solution
An industrial-strength, concentrated solution of Disodium Octoborate Tetrahydrate that has termiticidal, insecticidal, and fungicidal properties and penetrates wood regardless of moisture content. AntiBlu Diffuze solution is designed as a preventative and/or remedial treatment of wood in both new and existing structures against fungi (rot) and wood-boring insects. Click here (PDF) for additional details.
