Genics TEST & TREAT address each of the mould and decay degradation issues facing wood pole networks. Cobra Rods, CuB Liquid, Cobra Wrap and Cobra Cap are just some of the products in the range. When combined, this system maximises efficacy and extends the life of wood pole assets.
- Cobra Rods: Internal Co-Biocidal Diffusible Rod for remedial and preventative treatment of timber utility poles and other wood structures. Boron and Copper complex, raw ingredients fused into an amorphous glass rod. The rods are hydrophilic and seek out moisture. Suitable for treatment of Basidiomycetes (Brown and White rots) and Ascomycetes (soft rot fungi).
- Cobra Wrap: Is a long-lasting plastic wrap with rechargeable pads, offering a low-cost external treatment solution. The hydrophobic pads that are immersed in Copper Naphthenate (CuNap) solution, that acts as a physical barrier to the soil and provides the elemental treatment of copper to the face of the pole impeding soft rot.
- CuB Liquid: Copper-borate is a water based liquid preservative that contains no harmful VOC’s. The shock treatment is designed to be applied to poles exhibiting active rot. It is ideal for dry environments where very little moisture content is available for rod activation. Also ideal for above ground applications.

Genics Fire-Mesh™
Bushfire defence innovation offers critical cost-saving shield for Australia's power infrastructure
Australia’s power networks are bracing for a longer, more intense bushfire season, but a tested innovation is helping to safeguard the country’s energy networks. Australia’s five million timber power poles are critical to keeping homes and businesses connected, but with many located in high-risk bushfire zones, they’re increasingly vulnerable. As climate-fuelled fires grow longer and more severe, the cost of protecting and replacing damaged timber poles is escalating rapidly.
Fire-Mesh™ is a game-changing solution that helps networks avoid costly pole replacements after a bushfire, at just a fraction of the cost.
- Installs in minutes and allows the pole to “breathe”
- Intumesces to form a fireproof barrier when exposed to heat
- Minimises outages, saves infrastructure and safeguards communities.
