Alana 4 - transportation antiseptic

Alana 4 is a concentrated transportation antiseptic designed for reliable protection of wood during storage and transportation. The product effectively safeguards wood from fungi and insects that inhabit it, especially during warm and humid seasons. Alana 4 prevents the appearance of mold and wood-staining fungi that can damage the structure and appearance of the wood, keeping the material in proper condition.

Packaging:
- 1 L
- 5 L
- 10 L

Protective characteristics:
- Protection from fungi and insects: Alana 4 creates a protective layer that acts as a barrier against wood-staining fungi, preventing mold and blue stain. This preserves the wood's physical and mechanical properties, and its surface does not change color.
- Weather resistance: The product is effective during storage and transportation of timber in warm and humid periods, when wood is most vulnerable to contamination. Without antiseptic treatment, losses from mold and blue stain during warm seasons can reach 20-30%.
- Reliable formula: Alana 4 contains copper salts of organic acids, combining the advantages of oil-based and water-soluble antiseptics. Copper is a strong fungicide to which microorganisms cannot develop immunity, ensuring long-term protection.

Recommended concentrations and duration of protection:
Alana 4 can be diluted depending on the desired protection duration. Below are the recommended dilution ratios and the approximate protection terms:
- Dilution 1:10 (copper content 0.6%) – protection for over 15 years
- Dilution 1:20 (copper content 0.3%) – protection for over 10 years
- Dilution 1:30 (copper content 0.2%) – protection for over 8 years
- Dilution 1:40 (copper content 0.15%) – protection for over 6 years
- Dilution 1:50 (copper content 0.12%) – protection for over 4 years
- Dilution 1:60 (copper content 0.1%) – protection for over 2 years

The choice of concentration depends on wood storage conditions, economic feasibility, and the level of fungal contamination.

Usage instructions:
Alana 4 is a water-alcohol solution of copper salts of organic acids, providing a high level of protection with minimal toxicity to humans and animals.
1. Preparation of the solution: Dilute the concentrate in the appropriate proportion depending on the required protection duration (1:10 for maximum term, 1:20-1:40 for temporary protection).
2. Treatment: Apply the solution using a sprayer to the infected or potentially infected wood surface.
3. Action time: Leave the solution for 2-4 hours for full penetration.
4. Cleaning infected surfaces: If necessary, remove the infected layer of wood with a scraper or damp sponge. Use a respirator to protect against fungal spores.
5. Additional treatment: In case of severe contamination, apply a second layer of antiseptic after removing fungi. For new surfaces, a single treatment is sufficient.

Technical characteristics:
- Composition: Water-alcohol solution of copper salts of organic acids (copper content – 6%).
- Protection duration: Depends on operating conditions; exposure to light and moisture may reduce effectiveness.
- Safety: The product is low-toxic for warm-blooded organisms, making it safe for use in households and industries.

Advantages of Alana 4 antiseptic:
- High efficiency: Copper is one of the most potent fungicides, effectively combating microorganisms.
- Long-lasting action: The protective effect lasts for many years.
- Safety for wood: Does not stain the surface and preserves the natural color of the wood.
