Claims10
A method of preserving timber which comprises impregnating timber with a funicidal composition comprising at least one metal-organic compounds which contains aluminum and/or boron, at least one divalent metal element or metal radical, the aluminum and/or boron atom and the divalent metal atom or atoms being linked through oxygen atoms, and at least one carboxylic acid radical, together with a suitable carrier therefor.
A timber impregnating composition comprising at least one metal-organic compound which contains aluminum and/or boron, at least one divalent metal element or metal radical, the aluminum and/or boron atom and the divalent metal atom or atoms being linked through oxygen atoms, and at least one carboxylic acid radical, one or more fungicidal phenols selected from the group consisting of o-phenylphenol, nonylphenol and chlorinated phenols, and a hydrocarbon solvent therefor.
