Does ROTban remove the natural resins found in cedar roofs?
Resins and oils are the natural preservatives in cedar, which makes it so valuable as a building product. Since cedar cell walls are not particularly strong, the resins and oils in the sap are particularly important. The more they deplete, the more fragile the shakes become. ROTban doesn’t harm or remove these oils and resins, as is it would in the use of power washers. ROTban in fact, complements the oils and resins, working together to battle the rot producing organisms. It bonds to the wood cells, and, when wet, battles the destructive simple plant and animal life organisms.
