Greenzone Termite Protection

Greenzone is a termite and insect 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 management system.

Greenzone is a polyethylene expansion joint 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 and the longest residual termiticide currently registered on the market. Bifenthrin is a product used worldwide and is common in pesticides and termiticides.

The manufacture of Greenzone utilises an extrusion process. This process combines bifenthrin with a closed cell, cross-linked polyethylene material. Because of the extrusion process, once the Greenzone product has dried it is very difficult for the bifenthrin to leach out or degrade.

Greenzone can be used across many different applications within the residential, commercial and industrial building and construction segments. There are three main categories:

1) Service Penetration Applications Greenzone is used as an expansion foam around pipe penetration in concrete slab construction. By using Greenzone the need to install a secondary termite collar barrier is removed. Greenzone provides both termite protection and addresses the expansion/ contraction of concrete around penetrations in one-step.

2) Expansion and Contraction Joint Applications Greenzone is used as an expansion foam in control joints required in concrete slab construction. By using Greenzone ,the need to install a secondary termite fabric barrier is removed. Greenzone provides both termite protection and addresses the expansion/ contraction of concrete slabs in one-step.

3) Concrete Infill Slab Applications Greenzone is used as an expansion foam in control joints required where concrete infill slabs abut a concrete or brick wall. By using Greenzone the need to install a secondary termite fabric barrier is removed. Greenzone provides both termite protection and addresses the expansion and contraction of concrete infill slabs.

Greenzone can be installed around service penetrations in masonry structures, e.g. concrete slabs, concrete walls, block and brick walls. Greenzone acts as a physical termite and insect barrier and provides a compressible foam joint for the contraction and expansion of masonry elements.

6.1 TYPICAL USES

Greenzone is suitable for use generally in these areas:

• Around Plumbing Pipes – Drains, Sanitary, Water, Gas.

Around Electrical Conduits

Around other Service Penetrations e.g. HVAC, Drains, Vents, Access hatches, etc.

Greenzone has a 50 year, two million dollar manufacturers warranty.
