Robert from Palestine, Illinois writes
on top of my foundation blocks and was told that it would not harm aluminum or copper. While reading the MSDS I read in Section 10 that it may corrode aluminum. What product can I use to treat my sill plate that won't damage the aluminum?
We have spoken with the manufacturer of Bora-Care, Nisus, and they have stated that there is no problem with aluminum or copper or other metals with a Bora-Care application. There has been over 1.5 million houses treated over the past 15 years with no reported adverse effects and we have also done direct corrosion studies with Bora-Care and aluminum that show no corrosion. They are also in the process of taking the current wording off the MSDS which is directed only to manufacturing and not to the finished solution.
