Wood Fumigants - MITC-FUME, OsmoFume & More. Fumigants are designed to help protect in-service utility poles against strength loss caused by internal decay and insect attack. They produce gases that move within the pole both vertically and horizontally from the application holes, helping to eliminate wood-destroying fungi.

MITC-FUME® Wood Pole Fumigant Fumigants are designed to help protect in-service utility poles against strength loss caused by internal decay and insect attack. They produce vapors that move within the pole both vertically and horizontally from the application holes, helping to eliminate wood-destroying fungi.

Safely enclosed in an aluminum vial, MITC-FUME offers excellent protection of the interior of a wood pole. Many decades worth of technical data from institutions such as Oregon State University support the use of MITC-FUME as a highly effective wood pole fumigant.

MITC-FUME is 97% mitc in a solid-melt form pre-packaged in individual dose tubes. A granular dazomet-based product that decom-poses to produce smaller quantities of mitc than OsmoFume or MITC-FUME. It is applied in bulk, and should be used in conjunction with a copper accelerant such as Hollow Heart® CB. New!

Methyl isothiocyanate is the organosulfur compound with the formula CH 3 N=C=S. This low melting colorless solid is a powerful lachrymator. As a precursor to a variety of valuable bioactive compounds, it is the most important organic isothiocyanate in industry. [1] It is prepared industrially by two routes.

Methylisothiocyanate (mitc) (MITC-FUME) contains 97% mitc in solid melt pre-packaged individual dose tubes. This approach requires a high moisture content in the wood to be most effective. The dose rate is based on pole circumference. Dazomet (DuraFume II) is a 98% solid pour granule that decomposes to produces smaller amounts of mitc than MICT ...

MITC-FUME is subject to Sections 311 and 312 of SARA. A material safety data sheet for this product should be submitted to your local fire department, Local Emergency Planning Committee and your State Emergency Response Commission.

Below is a summary comparison of commercially available mitc-based fumigants: MITC-FUME is 97% mitc in a solid-melt form pre-packaged in individual tubes. At 97% mitc, it delivers the highest concentration of active ingredient to the pole, and since it doesn’t have to decompose to produce mitc, it provides quick control of decay.

This is called MITC-FUME. There may be a tag on the pole indicating that. You will see where a hole - .75" diameter bored and plugged near the ground line. MITC-FUME will make you very sick quickly, and a mask will probably not help.

Poles, Inc.® has an industry leading, one stop, supply chain of US EPA and PMRA registered wood pole fumigants, wood preservative pastes, pole bandages, treated wood plugs, pole identification tags, copper naphthenate, and borate rods for use in wood pole maintenance programs or as dip and brush on wood preservative treatments.
