GREENZONE® Termite Perimeter System is a physical termite risk management measure that is flexible in nature and is classed as a chemical barrier in a non-soil matrix. It is a once only treatment that is designed to last the economical life of the building.
How It Works:
GREENZONE® Perimeter System is a physical termite risk management measure that is flexible in nature and is classified in the Australian Standards as a Sheet Material. GREENZONE® Perimeter Termite System is a once only treatment that is designed to last the economical life of the building.
Product Benefits:
Complimentary product to our GREENZONE® Expansion Foam and GREENZONE® Sock Barrier, this addition to the range allows certified installers to source all their termite and insect management systems needs from a single supplier in GREENZONE®.
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.
