This table gives the maximum suitable application rate, in millilitres per square metre of timber surface, for
undiluted products. The relationship between application rate and the concentration of active ingredient is linear
and so maximum application rates can be interpolated for active ingredient concentrations that fall between
those listed here.
7
This table gives the maximum suitable application rate, in millilitres per square metre of timber surface, for
products that are diluted 5-fold prior to application. The relationship between application rate and the
concentration of active ingredient is linear and so maximum application rates can be interpolated for active
ingredient concentrations that fall between those listed here.
8
This table gives the maximum suitable application rate, in millilitres per square metre of timber surface, for
products that are diluted 25-fold prior to application. The relationship between application rate and the
concentration of active ingredient is linear and so maximum application rates can be interpolated for active
ingredient concentrations that fall between those listed here.
9
This table gives the minimum suitable application rate, in square metres of timber surface to which 1 litre of
product should be applied, for products that are diluted 25-fold prior to application. The relationship between
application rate and the concentration of active ingredient is linear and so maximum application rates can be
interpolated for active ingredient concentrations that fall between those listed here.

concentration of active ingredient is linear and so maximum application rates can be interpolated for active
ingredient concentrations that fall between those listed here.
