Product Overviews:

SAFEGUARD™ is a pre-construction, factory applied, two-part wood protection system. When blended with DOT, Safeguard's protective coating is applied to protect the wood from fungus and wood destroying insects. It's state-of-the-art infusion film® process bonds with the substrate to provide controlled topical and subsurface absorption. This ensures complete protection for all treated wood components used in the covered structure of the home. Safeguard™ products can be easily applied by spray, rolled, flood, dipped etc. Mandatory quality control procedures, continuous monitoring, permanent record keeping, scientific testing and third party inspection are used to insure the highest quality standards.

SAFEGUARD XP™ becomes a, non-toxic, Class A fire rated non-intumescent protective coating when blended with MAP and DOT for wood-boring insect protection. This product was developed in response to the need for protection against fungus growth, termites and fire. It is applied in the identical manner as Safeguard and features the same Infusion Film technology. It's three-part protection system provides an added benefit of fire protection to homes and families. 

Note: The Safeguard XP product is created by the blending of Safeguard resin with MAP and DOT. Unless agreed upon, MAP and DOT are not provided by Ultra Solutions, LLC.

How SAFEGUARD Products Work:

Factory Applied Application

• The two-parts that comprise the system are applied precisely to all six sides of the approved substrates using a specially engineered Infusion Film process.

Vapor Permeable Barrier

• Safeguard's Infusion Film allows trapped moisture within wood to escape, and keeps external moisture from seeping in, creating the optimal moisture balance.

Cellular Bonding

• As it penetrates, Safeguard’s Infusion Film bonds with wood fibers at the cellular level.

Continued Penetration

• Safeguard's Infusion Film ingredients continue to migrate below the topical surfaces after initial treatment application for sub-surface protection. The Infusion Film reduces the rate of vapor transmission from within the wood. The end result is a better conditioned board with less curling, splitting and cupping. The Infusion Film is treated to prevent mold growth on the dried surface of the film.

SAFEGUARD: The Solution to Moisture Control
Protection against excess moisture and problems associated with wood such as termites goes a long way to preserve inventories. Safeguard's Infusion Film products provides a water repellent, semi-permeable vapor film that interlocks with the wood fibers in the substrate, which limits moisture absorption. This precise moisture control now allows wood component suppliers and builders to store Safeguard components unprotected from the elements for up to six months.

Additionally, the incidence of infestation and damage by fungus and wood destroying insects can increase when materials are left unprotected. Typically when building a home only a small percentage of wood components are protected from wood destroying insects (termites). Termites and other species of wood ingesting insects can destroy the structural integrity of the home leaving the homeowner with thousands of dollars in repairs and in some cases complete home loss. Safeguard can expand this valuable protection to include all of the wood framing, trusses, rafters, and sheathing components utilized to build a home. Safeguard's Infusion Film process ensures prolonged protection from rot fungi and wood ingesting insects.

Why SAFEGUARD?

The technology associated with Safeguard's Infusion Film was born out of necessity. Although the wood products industry has come a long way when it comes to developing wood enhancement treatments, the continual urgency is the need for a better solution to fire retardance, deterioration due to moisture damage and wood boring insect control.

Unlike current toxic wood preservative options, Safeguard products were designed to solve these most pressing issues without the harmful effects to our environment. When it comes to home protection, UltraSolutions, LLC is dedicated to continuous research, product improvement and the no-compromise approach to high quality home construction. SAFEGUARD and SAFEGUARD XP's advanced formulas offers the industry a revolutionary solution to wood protection. Contact us today for more information on this product.
