  • Page 7 Where it is not possible to achieve a minimum inspection zone of 25 mm, a secondary barrier must be installed. The Protectant™ Polymer Termite Barrier System Perimeter barrier may be cast into a concrete slab prior to pouring. Slab penetration flanges are bonded to the slab penetration pipe with ADULETH TERMITICIDE flexible adhesive and held in position on the pipe penetration if necessary by means of a PVC collar or cable tie.

  • Page 22 If it necessary, use Protectant™ Termite Barrier and zip ties, ensure sufficient ADULETHTERMITICIDE is used under and over the tie to give a complete seal. The Protectant™ Termite Barrier should be firm and neatly trimmed to increase the opportunity for the concrete to flow under and around the cluster.

  • Page 34 When installing step ups / downs use a wider roll (300mm) to allow for correct grooming. When the Protectant ™ sheet on the brick work is correctly positioned, cut the Protectant™ sheet to give small tabs which can be neatly fixed with ADULETH TERMITICIDE without leaving bulky and poorly presented work.
  • Page 35 If the installation requires further work in the immediate future, ensure you notify a supervisor and alert the builder that this work is required, to ensure the barrier is complete and preventing any chance of a build out that may require rectification. TWAC Installation Manual Ver: 0118 CodeMark™ CMA-CM40036...

  • Page 43 After the Protectant™ Termite Barrier has been fully installed use the ADSOL ADHESIVE on both side of the Protectant™ edges to feather away any sharp edges that may catch on any timbers and fittings being moved across the slab.
  • Page 44 Do not use ADSOL ADHESIVE, as the red would be far too obvious on the slab face. When a Key Joint terminates at the garage step down, do not extend the Protectant™ Termite Barrier more than 25mm onto the garage slab. Use ADULETH Termiticide adhesive to bond to the garage slab.
  • Page 45 The installation can be carried out on top of the slab or footing. This type of barrier must be extended to key in to the perimeter barrier or exposed slab edge to form a complete and continuous barrier. TWAC Installation Manual Ver: 0118 CodeMark™ CMA-CM40036...

  • Page 95: Safety Training Procedures

    To assist with this it is important the Installers realise that there is no such thing as a silly question. If they are not certain of anything to do with the Protectant™ Termite Barrier System or Installation Process they are to ask questions and obtain clarification or guidance as the need may be.
  • Page 96 When involved in a process utilising the Protectant™ Termite Barrier System materials, Installers must make a point of being aware of what others are doing around them. What you are doing may not be a problem in itself, but in conjunction with another procedure being performed in your vicinity a potential hazard may arise.
  • Page 97 Also, as dose increases, generally so does the severity of the injury. Keep in mind that a small dose may not lead to immediate injury, but longer-term problems may arise. Another term that is important to dosage is threshold. Threshold is the dose at which a chemical begins to be harmful. TWAC Installation Manual Ver: 0118 CodeMark™ CMA-CM40036...
  • Page 98 A less obvious route of chemical entry is via the EYE. Chemicals are rapidly absorbed through the eye into the bloodstream. Chemicals can enter the eye as liquids or powders, by splashing or by TWAC Installation Manual Ver: 0118 CodeMark™ CMA-CM40036...
  • Page 99 Gases, mists, fume and dusts may also enter the body through the eyes. TWAC Installation Manual Ver: 0118 CodeMark™ CMA-CM40036...
  • Page 100 National Hazardous Substances Information System (HSIS). Exposure levels for any of the ingredients found in any of the Protectant™ Termite Barrier System Components are recorded on the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets. Exposure standards represent airborne concentrations of individual chemical substances, which according to current knowledge, should neither impair the health nor cause undue discomfort to nearly all workers.
  • Page 101 You are provided with Material Safety Data Sheets for all three components that may be used in the Protectant™ Termite Barrier System. If you do not have a copy of the MSDS for each of the components you must ask for a copy to be forwarded to you.
  • Page 102 5.3 Respirators and Masks Handling the Protectant™ Termite Barrier does not require the use of a respirator. However, as the material is used in conjunction with one or both of the adhesive products, the situation must be evaluated in regards to respirator requirements for these material(s).
  • Page 103 Material Safety Data Sheet. Most of the associated hazards are likely to be secondary effects related to the bifenthrin. 6.4 Dealing with Protectant™ Termite Barrier System Components Remember that dealing with chemicals in the appropriate manner means you need to be aware of the potential hazards associated with the materials.
  • Page 104 Waste materials which would require safe storage and disposal include empty containers/packaging, spilled adhesive materials and any off-cuts from the application of the Protectant™ Termite Barrier System on-site. 2.0 Waste Disposal 2.1 Protectant™...
  • Page 105 As mentioned in Section 2.1 any Barrier waste and packaging is to be collected by the Installers using one of the packaging bags for the Protectant™ Termite Barrier product. This “waste” container should also be used for the collection of spent ADULETH Termiticide containers. Spilled material that is collected must be allowed to dry and is then to be placed in these waste containers.
  • Page 106 Original Release 1.0 Overview The hazards associated with handling the individual components of the Protectant™ Termite Barrier System vary markedly. Therefore, the clothing requirements also vary according to which component is being used. Workers should also follow good personal hygiene practices including washing hands after use and before eating, drinking and smoking.
  • Page 107 Safety shoes are to be worn at all times when Installers are on site. 2.3.5 Personal Respirators Handling the Protectant™ Termite Barrier does not require the use of a respirator. However, as the material is used in conjunction with one or both of the adhesive products, the situation must be evaluated with regard to respirator requirements for these material(s).
  • Page 108 2.0 Initial Response There may be a time as an Installer where there may be issues with one of the Protectant™ Termite Barrier components. Although there are quality control procedures in place to minimise the potential for problem issues getting through to the Installation Level, there is the possibility, though small, that this may occur.

  • Page 149 Pre-Pour Penetrations Points To Remember • Penetrations are to be fitted no later than the day before the slab pour • Do not attempt to install penetrations until the moisture membrane and reinforcing mesh have been placed • Cut the reinforcing mesh back 65mm from all pipes and remove tape from caps or pipes •...
  • Page 150 In some cases due to space restrictions, it may not be possible to fit rigid Penetration Flanges. If it is necessary, use Protectant™ Termite Barrier and zip ties. The Protectant™ Termite Barrier should be firm and neatly trimmed to increase the opportunity for the concrete flow under and around the cluster.
  • Page 151 Hebel Panel Surface Preparation Clean the slab edge and Hebel Panel of dirt, debris, oil, dust, etc. and remove the loose particles of the Hebel Panel with a wire brush. Once done, use banister brush or blower to clear it away. All surfaces must be firm, clean, dry, sound and smooth. ACP Hebel Panel installation manual, V.
  • Page 152 Prime the clean and dry surfaces for better adhesion, with a brush or spray bottle to the height of the ‘V’ joint (floor level). Concrete must be allowed to cure for 28 days prior to the application of Protek WPU. As the Hebel Panels are porous in nature, they must be sealed — no exceptions.
  • Page 153 Perimeter Barrier Installation Run a line across the Hebel Panel at finish floor height. Apply a 20mm bead of ADULETH Termiticide on the join of the Hebel Panel and rebate. Then, using a trowel or gloved fingers, smooth out the bead of ADULETH Termiticide to form a solid barrier with the rebate and the Hebel Panel.
  • Page 154 Protek WPU cannot span gaps for dynamic cracks, therefore any imperfections in the base of the Hebel Panel are to be repaired by filling them with ADULETH Termiticide. Vertical expansion joints are to be covered with a self adhesive waterproofing tape. ACP Hebel Panel installation manual, V.
