PRECAUTIONS:

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals. Causes moderate eye irritation.
Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic
reactions in some individuals.  Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Avoid breathing dust/spray mist. Wash thoroughly with soap and
water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using
tobacco, or using the toilet. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
before reuse. Wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
as specified below.

Personal Protective Equipment PPE:

Mixer/loader s, applicators and other handlers must wear: Long-sleeved
shirt and long pants, waterproof gloves, shoes plus socks and a
NIOSH-approved respirator with any N-95, P-95, R-95 or HE filter and
protective eye wear. Wear PPE during all cleanup/repair activities. When
applicators use closed systems (e.g. enclosed cabs) the personal
protective equipment requirements may be reduced or modified but must be
available for use in case of failure of closed systems.

Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no
such instructions for washables are provided,

use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other
laundry.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner
inconsistent with its labeling.

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other
persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may
be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your
State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

USE RESTRICTIONS:

This product can only be applied by diptank application technology. DO
NOT allow effluent or runoff from dipping tanks containing this product
to enter lakes, streams, ponds or other waters. Avoiding drift and
splash at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator.
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine
the potential for drift and splash. Workers are responsible for
considering all these factors when making decisions. 

Tank Mixes: DILUTE BEFORE USING. Do not tank mix FPSolano with any
pesticides. 

GENERAL:

FPSolano is a sapstain control biological fungicide for the treatment of
green freshly cut or chipped lumber against staining fungi and molds
that attack various wood species lowering their grade and value.
FPSolano controls stains mold and decay on freshly cut lumber and logs
in hardwood and softwood species.

 

Wood treated with FPSolano is ideal for transformed and added value wood
products such as, but not limited to, logs, poles, posts, composites,
veneers, wood trims, wood floorings and furniture components or other
similar wood products intended for non-food contact. 

STARTING SOLUTION:

Initial dipping solution must be prepared as fresh as possible, no more
than 24 hours before the beginning of the process.

For more susceptible species, prepare the dipping solution by mixing 17
lbs. of FPSolano per 1000 gallons of water containing 4% w/v sodium
carbonate and 1% w/v sodium bicarbonate. For example, in each 1000
gallons of water add 17 lbs. of FPSolano, 334 lbs. of sodium carbonate
and 84 lbs. of sodium bicarbonate. Agitate to dissolve the product and
maintain the suspension. The final suspension will contain 3.86x109
cfu/gallon Clonostachys rosea.

For less susceptible species, prepare the dipping solution by mixing 1.7
lbs. of FPSolano per 1000 gallons of water containing 4% w/v sodium
carbonate and 1% w/v sodium bicarbonate. For example, in each 1000
gallons of water add 1.7 lbs. of FPSolano, 33 lbs. of sodium carbonate
and 8 lbs. of sodium bicarbonate. Agitate to dissolve the product and
maintain the suspension. The final suspension will contain 3.86x108
cfu/gallon Clonostachys rosea.

 

MAINTENANCE SOLUTION:

For more susceptible species, to maintain the product concentration in
the dipping tank, adjust the daily total volume of water required for
the dipping tank. For each 100 gallons of water added, containing 4% w/v
sodium carbonate and 1% w/v sodium bicarbonate, prepare the maintenance
solution by mixing 1.7 lbs. of FPSolano. For example, in each 100
gallons of water add 1.7 lbs. of FPSolano, 33 lbs. of sodium carbonate
and 8 lbs. of sodium bicarbonate.  

For less susceptible species, to maintain the product concentration in
the dipping tank, adjust the daily total volume of water required for
the dipping tank. For each 100 gallons of water added, containing 4% w/v
sodium carbonate and 1% w/v sodium bicarbonate, prepare the maintenance
solution by mixing 0.17 lbs. of FPSolano. For example, in each 100
gallons of water add 0.17 lbs. of FPSolano, 3 lbs. of sodium carbonate
and 0.8 lbs. of sodium bicarbonate.  

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

If the dipping tank is not used for a period of more than 2 hours,
re-agitate to maintain the suspension. Lumber and logs should be totally
submerged to ensure that all surfaces are treated for at least 60
seconds. During the dipping process, the agitation resulting will be
sufficient to ensure proper suspension. For best results lumbers should
be treated as soon as possible, ideally within 4 hours after it is
processed in the sawmill. Freshly dipped lumber should be protected from
rain-washing. Dip tanks should be covered when not in use to prevent
dilution and loss of the FPSolano solution. 

Cover freshly treated wood using a tarpaulin or equivalent to prevent
exposure to nontarget organisms. 

Prior to disposal of any remaining treatment solution containing
FPSolano use a dilute solution of chlorine bleach (not more than 5%
solution) at a ratio of 1 quart per 2000 gallons of FPSolano solution to
kill the remaining viable Clonostachys rosea strain 321U prior to
disposal into systems or sites allowed for pesticide disposal by state
and local authorities. If any spills occur onto impervious surfaces,
treat the spill with a 5% solution of chlorine bleach, mop-up and
dispose into the systems or sites allowed for pesticide disposal by
state and local authorities. If any spills occur onto a pervious
surface, cover using a tarpaulin or equivalent to prevent exposure to
nontarget organisms.
