The GREENZONE® Sock is the only collar on the market that protects the service penetrations from concrete expansion. This product is suitable for use on all types of construction, be it residential, commercial or industrial. It is applied to service penetrations either prior to formwork being laid or afterwards, providing a greater window of opportunity to install the product as opposed to other options that are on the market.
How It Works:
An easy to use termite system, purpose built to suit all standard penetration sizes.
Product Benefits:
Complimentary product to our GREENZONE® Expansion Foam and GREENZONE® Perimeter System, this addition to the range allows certified installers to source all their termite and insect management systems needs from a single supplier in GREENZONE®.
Installed before and after framework.
The Solution
GREENZONE® is an insect and termite barrier technology which integrates a compressible foam substrate with bifenthrin creating significant savings in labour and materials to install a combined termite repellent and compressible foam layer. The core innovation is the integration of a termite repellent into expansion joint foam which can be applied to all elements of construction that require a termite barrier in order to comply with the Building Code of Australia.
The Science
GREENZONE® is a polyethylene expansion gap flexible foam containing Bifenthrin to act as a barrier to termites, black ant and cockroaches. Bifenthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide and termiticide, a 4th generation pyrethroid, which is virtually insoluble in water (with a solubility of only 0.1 mg/l) and the longest residual termiticide currently registered on the market. Bifenthrin is a product used worldwide and is common in pesticides and termiticides – safety data is readily available (see SDS/MSDS for further information)
The manufacture of the GREENZONE® product uses an extrusion process. The process combines bifenthrin with a closed cell, cross-linked polyethylene material. As a result of the extrusion process, once the GREENZONE® product has dried it is impossible for the bifenthrin to leach out or degrade.
Why use GREENZONE®?
- GREENZONE® is an insect and termite barrier technology which integrates a compressible foam substrate with a termiticide creating significant savings in labour and materials to install a combined termite repellent and compressible foam layer.
- GREENZONE® complies with the Building Code of Australia
- GREENZONE® termite barrier meets the legislative requirements of local government across Victoria and in other states of Australia other than Tasmania.
In termite regions, it is a blanket pre-requisite to have a termite barrier installed in order to achieve a Certificate of Occupancy. In the Northern Territory the Department of Lands Planning and the Environment provide that builders must, as a minimum, comply with the termite management requirements set out in the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
- In the medium to longer term, adopting a strategy of termite exclusion, as opposed to termite treatment, has the following additional benefits:
> Reduces the use of chemicals in the environment;
> Reduces the cost of building management by removing the need for ongoing pest management;
> Improves environmental health outcomes by preventing termite infestation in the first instance.
- GREENZONE® is suitable for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
- Expansion joint foam being a necessity in any form of concrete construction as it allows slabs to expand and contract without cracking and protects other building elements such as plumbing during the slab pour process.
- Increasing regulatory interest in environmentally efficient products that reduce resource use and prevent pest infestation.
