EDN is the next generation timber and log fumigant. As a replacement for methyl bromide, EDN does not deplete the Ozone. It is a broad-spectrum fumigant and shown to be highly effective against timber insect pests, pathogens and nematodes. Moreover, EDN has superior penetration qualities than other timber fumigants – even into moist logs.
Timber Treatment
These excellent penetration qualities ensure that even wood-boring insects are controlled. With no known insect resistance, EDN overcomes the problems associated with growing resistance among insects and pests to traditional chemicals and fumigants. Follow the product label recommendation to achieve maximum control of the target organisms.
Product Benefits:
Environmental Impact Bonus
- No known global warming potential Viable alternative to ozone-depleting methyl bromide
Excellent Distribution and Penetration Properties
- EDN is a small molecule hence it has a superior penetration both across and along the timber grain
- EDN penetrates both wet and dry timber hence it can be used in both fresh and dry logs
- EDN can be used on timber and logs in sealed fumigation chambers, or in shipping container under tarpaulins, or as stacks sealed under tarpaulins
- EDN is very effective on all the life stages of timber insect pests.
Economical advantages
- Quick fumigation period for a range of timber pests hence the treated commodities can be transported or shipped shortly.
Application - Industry Gains
- Ease of use with dedicated, innovative dispensing solution drop-in replacement for methyl bromide
- EDN has low boiling point (-21° C) hence it can be applied without a vaporiser and it is effective against the target pests at very low temperatures
