Extend Utility Pole Life with Our Chloropicrin Wood Pole Fumigants and Integrated Solutions
Encapsulated Controlled Release Delivery
SmartFume® is a controlled release cartridge containing chloropicrin, a highly effective fumigant, unsurpassed in arresting and preventing internal pest and fungal decay in large wood utility poles, pilings and timbers.
From 1960 to today, liquid chloropicrin has been the unsurpassed fumigant for arresting and preventing internal decay in wood structures.
SmartFume® is designed to control the release of chloropicrin, minimizing risk of handler exposure during application, while dispersing chloropicrin into the wood at a precise rate needed to arrest and prevent decay for up to 12 years or longer.
SmartFume® maintains fumigant levels in the wood that are 50 – 100X higher than methylisothiocyanate (mitc) products.
SmartFume® clearly outperforms all other internal wood fumigant products, protecting wood poles from failure. To protect the wood from decay, the fumigant level must stay above threshold of 20ug/g (red line on graph).
Methyl isothiocyanate (mitc) products fail to maintain the minimum threshold shortly after the 3-year mark.
Can be readily removed for replacement, or anytime.
Tamper resistant, when installed with our T-bit driver.
Can be audited to substantiate proper fumigant remedial service is complete. Each cartridge is dated.
Complete treatment system. Plugs are included at no charge, and there’s no need for additional parts or chemicals.
How does SmartFume® work?
Liquid Readily Vaporizes Into the Wood
SmartFume® vaporizes readily to migrate and fumigate the wood allowing easy access to the inspection and treatment bore, unlike granular products which have been known to solidify, obstructing the hole from further treatment/inspection and making treatment ineffective.
Migrates 5 to 8 feet from install site
Chloropicrin’s unequaled ability to travel through the wood at significant distances from the point of application makes SmartFume® exceptional in arresting and preventing decay.
Remains for 12 years or longer
Chloropicrin, has unique properties which cause it to remain in wood longer than any other fumigant.
Treats Elevated Pole Areas Safer Than Using Liquids
SmartPlug’s® innovative design allows SmartFume® to be installed at an upwards vertical angle allowing access to higher reaches in wood structures. It can be applied open end upwards for a vapor release or downwards for a slow controlled drip release.
