I did a thorough treatment an hour before dark outside with Maxxthor and noticed an odor. It wasn’t strong but can you tell me if its harmful and when should it go away?
MAXXTHOR is oil based and when mixed with water, will have a low odor. This is 100% normal and to be expected. But this odor is completely harmless and will fade quickly. The main reason is that the actual active is not getting airborne, its only the solvents which are effectively breaking down. It’s similar to the odor you might notice when painting or using bleach but a lot less potent in how noticeable it is and how long it lasts.
So when used outside, any odor will usually disappear within an hour or two as it dries. Inside treatments when wood injecting can linger a little longer but if you are running your heating/air system, it will remove any fumes quickly once the system runs 2-3 times and there is an inline vent taking air close to where you treat.
Now if you plan on using it with water, we do offer T.O.N. which is an odor neutralizer. Designed for “tank” mixes, it will effectively make Maxxthor odorless so something to consider. And if you are using a Maxxthor/Base Oil mixture, it will have less odor too but T.O.N. is not an option for that mixture since it won’t mix with Base Oil.
Now on a side note; BITHOR is odorless. It’s formulation is water based and so not volatile like the Maxxthor.
