LIQUID AND fungicidally An insecticidal composition as carriers CONTAINING ETHYLENE GLYCOL AND A boron-containing active ingredient for application to a porous substrate, especially wood, and a method of treatment of timber TO PROTECT AGAINST wood-destroying insects and RAADDANNENDE FUNGI

摘要

A carrier consisting of ethylene glycol, or another hygroscopic glycol, or another hygroscopic liquid in a composition containing a protective agent to be introduced into a porous substrate such as timber, particularly a boron-rich compound (at least 25% of B2O3, preferably at least 35% of B2O3). For penetration into wood as a preservative suppressing or preventing insecticidal or fungal attack, the glycol carrier penetrating the outer portion of the wood more quickly than an aqueous carrier.
