Product Overview
The NISUS Disodium Octaborate Treatment is a high‑performance, ready‑to‑use waterproofing concentrate formulated with 40% disodium octaborate tetrahydrate. Designed for demanding exterior applications, this product penetrates deep into wood, concrete, and masonry to create a durable barrier against moisture, mold, and fungal growth. Packaged in a convenient 1‑gallon container, it weighs 15.68 ounces and measures 1.9 x 1.9 x 9 inches, making it easy to handle on job sites. Since its launch on December 28, 2010, the formula has earned a solid reputation, reflected in a 4‑star rating from six verified customers and a respectable ranking in the Tools & Home Improvement category.
Usage
Ideal for residential decks, porches, roof trims, soffits, and foundation systems, the treatment can also be applied to window and door frames, exterior steps, and even infested or susceptible flooring areas where traditional BoraCare products struggle to reach. Apply with a brush, roller, or low‑pressure sprayer, ensuring the surface is clean and dry. Allow the solution to soak for at least 30 minutes before wiping excess, then let it cure for 24‑48 hours before exposing the area to moisture. This makes it suitable for both DIY homeowners tackling weekend projects and professional contractors handling large‑scale renovations.

FAQ
Can this product be used on already painted surfaces?
Yes, but the painted area should be lightly sanded to expose the underlying material. This ensures proper absorption of the treatment. After sanding, clean the surface of dust before applying the product.
How long does the waterproofing effect last?
When applied according to the instructions, the protective barrier can last up to three years in typical outdoor conditions. Longevity may vary based on exposure to extreme weather and maintenance practices.
Is the product safe for pets and children?
The formulation is low‑toxicity and free from volatile organic compounds. However, it is recommended to keep the treated area dry and avoid direct contact until the cure time of 24‑48 hours is complete.
What equipment is needed for application?
A standard brush, roller, or low‑pressure sprayer works well. Ensure the equipment is clean to prevent contamination and achieve an even coat.
Does the treatment affect the color of the wood?
The solution is clear and does not alter the natural hue of wood or concrete. It can be used on stained or unfinished surfaces without affecting the existing finish.
