Cobra™ Rods - Preservative Borate Rods
Add up to 15 years of life to your wood.
With studies from 6 different internationally recognized research institutes to back it, you can trust the power of the Cobra™ Rod.
Copper and Boron are fused together in a glass diffusible Cobra™ Rod. When your wood is attacked by moisture, Cobra™ Rod will confidently protect it.
A Cobra™ Rod is a spot treatment to decay-prone areas of logs that have already been coated with a finish. This treatment is water-soluble and protects wood against decay, fungi, and certain bugs. The Cobra™ Rod acts as a plug, as you can essentially drill a hole into the piece of wood, stick the rod into it, and close it up with caulk.
The Cobra™ Rod is superior to an Impel Rod, as the Cobra™ Rod is a mixture of borate AND copper hydroxide. The additional copper hydroxide in the rod gives the Cobra™ Rod that extra strength to fight off wood rot, fungus, and insects.
