Abstract: A wood preservative composition and method for preserving wood by contacting wood with said composition comprising a polyurethane polymer, non-aqueous solvents, and a wood preservative active.

Abstract: A composition is provided, comprising microcapsules, wherein said microcapsules comprise a core and an outer shell, wherein said core comprises one or more water-insoluble compound having melting point above 15° C., wherein said outer shell comprises one or more amino resin that is a reaction product of reactants comprising one or more polyamine and formaldehyde, and wherein said composition further comprises one or more formaldehyde scavenger, one or more reaction product of said amino resin with a formaldehyde scavenger, or a mixture thereof. Also provided is a method of making such a composition.

Abstract: A method of preserving wood is provided. The method comprises the step of contacting the wood with an aqueous composition comprising (a) a wax having melting point higher than 75° C. and an average particle size no greater than 1 micron, (b) greater than 0.08% by weight, based on the weight of said aqueous composition, a nonionic surfactant having the formula R—O?CH2CH2O?xH ?wherein said R is an aliphatic group having 10 to 16 carbon atoms; wherein the average value of x is 4.5 to 5.5, and (c) one or more organic wood preservative.

Abstract: A composition is provided, comprising microcapsules, wherein said microcapsules comprise a core and an outer shell, wherein said core comprises one or more water-insoluble compound having melting point above 15° C., wherein said outer shell comprises one or more amino resin that is a reaction product of reactants comprising one or more polyamine and formaldehyde, and wherein said composition further comprises one or more formaldehyde scavenger, one or more reaction product of said amino resin with a formaldehyde scavenger, or a mixture thereof. Also provided is a method of making such a composition.

Abstract: A composition is provided with increased release comprising an encapsulated active and one or more metal additive. Also provided is a coating composition comprising an encapsulated active, and one or more metal additive, and one or more binder polymer, one or more binder precursor, or a mixture thereof, and one or more pigment. Also provided is a method of making such compositions. Also provided is a method of providing a surface that resists marine fouling wherein said method comprises applying a layer of such compositions to a substrate and drying said layer or allowing said layer to dry.
