XyloSHIELD™ Perimeter Defense

Anhydrous timber + termite barrier · liquid half of Offense & Defense

XyloSHIELD™ Perimeter Defense is the liquid half of the Offense & Defense System — a heavy-duty botanical timber-barrier concentrate for neat wood treatment on structural framing and outdoor public timber (park decks, boardwalks, pathways, observation platforms, plaza decks). A zero-water oil carrier is designed to deliver cedarwood, lavender, and eucalyptus actives into the wood pore structure and retain them on the treated surface — an intended retention profile versus the rinse-off behavior of many water-based sprays. Not a wash-off, non-leaching, or pest-free warranty. Termite station / void work is the T-Bait module; tick vegetation control is TickAGRO™.

Delivery Engine

Anhydrous Botanical Lipid Matrix

The argument is delivery and retention—not restoration folklore. XyloSHIELD™ suspends cedarwood, lavender, and eucalyptus citriodora actives in a highly concentrated anhydrous lipid matrix. Applied neat, the carrier wets and penetrates raw framing, subfloors, joists, crawlspace plates, deck joists, stringers, and cut ends without introducing water that swells cellulose. Actives are deposited into the pore structure as a hydrophobic film engineered for comparative retention versus typical aqueous borates that rinse into soil with moisture — relevant for wetland-adjacent boardwalks and park decks as well as indoor crawlspaces. That on-structure presence is the point of the lipid system: sustained botanical defense where the wood was treated. It is a professional timber-defense formulation under EPA Section 25(b) minimum-risk positioning—not a structural warranty, not a guarantee of pest-free status, and not a claim that native wood oils are “restored.”

Regulatory Classification

FIFRA Section 25(b) Minimum Risk

EPA Section 25(b) Exempt minimum-risk formulation. Intended for professional indoor crawlspaces, foundation lines, structural framing, and outdoor public timber (park decks, boardwalks, pathways, plazas) where neat field treatment and documentation are specified. Non-corrosive to typical plates and hangers when used as directed. Supports documentation of treated-wood defense and field-cut end sealing practice (AWPA M4-style jobsite tasks when specified) and alignment language for CSI Division 06 preservative wood-treatment scopes — does not certify CSI membership, government approval, CUF credit, code acceptance, or pest elimination. Orientation only regarding NYS restrictions on CCA / creosote / PCP lumber in many public structures — not legal advice. Sold to certified MWBE operators; ErythroAGRO is not advertising itself as the MWBE.

AWPA M4 Field-Cut End Sealing & CSI Division 06: Structural Timber Defense for Certified MWBE Operators

"Water-soluble borates wash out during rain delays on open framing, while certified MWBE subcontractors need auditable, non-brokerage technical labor packages for public timber scopes."

100% Anhydrous Zero Wood Swelling

Zero water carrier eliminates dimensional swelling on engineered joists, framing plates, and decking.

CSI Div 06 MasterFormat Alignment

Direct documentation alignment for Preservative Wood Treatment scopes and AWPA M4 end sealing.

Turnkey CUF Auditable Field Checklists

Checklists A, B, and C provide geotagged proof of technical labor and on-site monitoring stations.

1. The Borate Leaching Problem on Active Construction Sites

Standard aqueous borate solutions are water-soluble powders mixed on-site. During framing delays and open-roof weather events, rain saturates the wood and rinses the borate salts out of the cellulose pores and into surrounding soil. XyloSHIELD™ replaces water with an anhydrous botanical lipid carrier that deposits active cedarwood, lavender, and eucalyptus oils deep within the pore structure, forming a hydrophobic barrier that resists wash-off.

2. AWPA M4 Field-Cut Sealing & Municipal Timber Infrastructure

Public boardwalks, park decks, observation platforms, and heavy timber footbridges require field-cut end treatment under AWPA Standard M4. Unsealed cuts expose untreated interior wood to fungal rot and subterranean termites. XyloSHIELD™ provides a neat, brushable and sprayable penetrating seal that protects structural connections without corroding metal joist hangers or fasteners.

3. The Turnkey Offense & Defense System: MWBE CUF Compliance

General Contractors and public agencies require certified MWBE subcontractors to perform a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) rather than act as pass-through material brokers. The XyloSHIELD™ Offense & Defense System Pilot equips MWBE crews with on-site monitoring stations, T-Bait void paste, and serialized Field Checklists to provide bulletproof compliance documentation.

Standard Operating Procedure

Technical Application & Field Calibration

⚠️ Critical Mixing Rule

DO NOT MIX WITH WATER. Water undermines the anhydrous lipid delivery engine and breaks the film barrier. Apply neat concentrate only.

Deployment Protocol:

DO NOT MIX WITH WATER. Water undermines the anhydrous lipid delivery and retention profile. Agitate 3–5 minutes, then apply neat to raw wood framing, foundation trenching, deck / boardwalk timber, or field-cut ends using wood-treatment pails, pressure-injection rigs, or structural ULV equipment. Planning yield: up to ~5,000 sq ft deep-saturation wood-surface coverage per 5-gal pail (~1,000 sq ft/gal) for a neat multi-pass on raw lumber — field results depend on species, prep, and coats. Document cut ends, notches, and drill holes when the SOW requires field treatment.
