Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for treating wood comprising a wood preserving compound and a carrier, wherein the carrier is an emulsion comprising a hydrophobic phase, a hydrophilic phase and a surfactant system. In particular, the surfactant system comprises a non-ionic polyethoxylated alkyl amine and an anionic C10-C16 alkylbenzene sulfonate. Methods of using the composition to treat wood, especially timber, are also described.
Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for treating wood comprising at least one wood preserving compound and a carrier, wherein said carrier is an emulsion or microemulsion having a water to oil ratio of greater than 30 up to 92.5 water to 7.5 to less than 70 oil, wherein the oil has a flash point above 61° C. The invention also relates to methods of treating wood with the composition.
