Patent number: 8105635Abstract: The present invention relates to post-treatment compositions and methods useful for modifying the distribution of metal biocide(s) in biodegradable substrates such as wood, other cellulosic products, starch-based products, and the like that are vulnerable to decay due to insects, fungi, microbes, and the like. The compositions include complexing agents of moderate strength that are able to facilitate mobilization and redistribution of metal biocide(s) in substrates without undue leaching.

Post-treatment compositions that include additional metal biocide can also replenish these regions with the freshly supplied, additional biocide. Thus, the depleted regions can be restored by redistribution and/or replenishment mechanisms. Service life of substrates in the field benefits by these post-treatments as a consequence.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2009Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology LLCInventors: Kimberly S.

Publication number: 20110091575Abstract: Strategies that dramatically reduce leaching of water-soluble metal-containing biocides from treated biodegradable products. Aqueous, preservative compositions of the present invention incorporate one or more water-soluble metal species having biocidal activity and one or more agents that increase the leaching resistance of these metal species when impregnated into biodegradable products. Using one or more of these agents allows usage rates of the biocide impregnants to be dramatically lowered at the time of impregnation of the products. Because less of the metal biocide leaches in the presence of these agent(s), less biocide has to be added in order to meet desired loading goals. Generally, an agent of the present invention that reduces leaching of metal biocides is water soluble, is substantially nonionic in aqueous media, has a molecular weight greater than about 100, and has a vapor pressure less than that of water at standard temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2008Publication date: April 21, 2011Inventors: Kimberly S.

The compositions employed in the invention may further comprise additive compounds, for example, a saponin, an isoflavone, a phospholipid, a carbohydrate substantially resistant to digestion, or a combination thereof. The methods and compositions of the invention may be used to lower cholesterol and other lipid levels in subjects to achieve a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2003Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Neal A. Bringe, Kanthasamy Karunanandaa

Publication number: 20090123505Abstract: A wood preservative includes injectable particles comprising one or more sparingly soluble copper salts. The copper-based particles are sufficiently insoluble so as to not be easily removed by leaching but are sufficiently soluble to exhibit toxicity to primary organisms primarily responsible for the decay of the wood. Exemplary particles contain for example copper hydroxide, basic copper carbonate, copper carbonate, basic copper sulfates including particularly tribasic copper sulfate, basic copper nitrates, copper oxychlorides, copper borates, basic copper borates, and mixtures thereof. The particles typically have a size distribution in which at least 50% of particles have a diameter smaller than 0.25 ?m, 0.2 ?m, or 0.15 ?m. At least about 20% and even more than 75% of the weight of the particles may be composed of the substantially crystalline copper salt. Wood or a wood product may be impregnated with copper-based particles of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2008Publication date: May 14, 2009Applicant: PhibroWood, LLCInventors: H. Wayne Richardson, Robert L. Hodge

Publication number: 20090092683Abstract: The present invention provides wood preservative compositions comprising micronized particles. In one embodiment, the composition comprises dispersions of micronized metal or metal compounds. In another embodiment, the wood preservative composition comprises an inorganic component comprising a metal or metal compound and organic biocide. When the composition comprises an inorganic component and an organic biocide, the inorganic component or the organic biocide or both are present as micronized particles. When compositions of the present invention are used for preservation of wood, there is minimal leaching of the metal and biocide from the wood.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2008Publication date: April 9, 2009Inventors: Robert M. Leach, Jun Zhang

Publication number: 20080317856Abstract: This invention relates to compositions with a capillary-active system with application-relevant differentiability and synergistic potential for use in mammals, especially humans. The invention accordingly relates to a composition that has a capillary-active system C optionally containing a capillary activator system CA consisting of drugs that increase blood flow, stabilize the vascular wall, and/or dilate the blood vessels; and/or a capillary-protective system CP comprising drugs for endothelial stabilization, lipoprotein protection, and for stabilization of leukocytes/platelets; and/or a capillary energy supply system CE comprising redox systems and cofactors in energy provision and energy carriers. This system C is combined with a selective action system S.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2005Publication date: December 25, 2008Inventors: Rolf D. Beutler, Karl-Heinz Schmidt, Bettina Funke, Kirstin Becker
