Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the protective treatment of wood, derived timber products and wood-type substrates by means of thermal treatment at 60-250° C. and additional treatment using an amine and/or amine derivative of general formula (Ia), (Ib) or (Ic) wherein R1 and R4 independently represent C6-24 alkyl; R2 and R3 independently represent C1-24 alkyl or (CH2)—NH2; R5, R6, R8 and R9 independently represent C1-24 Alkyl; R7 represents C6-24 alkyl or benzyl; R10 independently represents C1-24 alkyl or —[(CH2)2—O]nR11 where n=1-20; R11 represents hydrogen or optionally substituted phenyl; and X− represents a monovalent inorganic or organic anion or an equivalent of a polyvalent inorganic or organic anion. The additional treatment can also be carried out using a corresponding salt the wood treated according to said method has good resistance even to harmful organisms which cannot be reliably controlled by means of only a heat treatment.

Abstract: Solvent-free coating materials and treating agents used as water-based wood or material protective agents containing emulsifiable binding agents, quaternary ammonium compounds and optional additional active agents. The wood or material protective agents are non-flammable and enable a uniform distribution of the binding agent and the quaternary ammonium compounds in the substrates. As a result, the quaternary ammonium compounds function as a dissolving mediator for the binding agents which are dispersed in water without opacifying effects and are used as a biocide. The agents can additionally absorb water-insoluble organic biocides without impairing the homogeneity or stability of the formulation of the homogeneity of the distribution in the substrate.

Abstract: Compositions for the protective treatment of wood against rot and attack by insects which comprise at least the following components: a) 10-90 parts of coal-tar oil b) 2-20 parts of a biocidally active quaternary ammonium compound c) 10-90 parts of water. are described. The compositions according to the invention are easily preparable stable emulsions which are distinguished, inter alia, by good penetrability, strongly reduced odour of the treated woods, absence of annoying tar oil enrichments at the surface and strongly reduced “bleeding” of the treated wood at hot temperatures, considerably enhanced activity in spite of a lower coal-tar oil content and reduced toxicity compared to pure coal-tar oil.

Abstract: A wood preservative which is based on a dimethylalkylamine and an acid and contains dimethylalkylamine, a water-soluble acid and a water-insoluble acid and/or 2-(methoxycarbonylamino)-benzimidazole is used for preserving wood.

Abstract: An agent for impregnating solid wood by the pressure process, based on a water-dilutable formulation of a copper salt, excess alkanolamine and, if required, a salt with a fungicidal anion, has a pH of not less than 8 in the concentration usually employed and corresponding to about 1-5% by weight of non-aqueous components in the aqueous solution.

Abstract: The salt of N-tridecyl-2,6-dimethylmorpholine with fluoboric acid, and fungicides, insecticides and wood preservatives containing this salt.

Abstract: Wood preservatives which are based on a zinc compound and an aliphatic carboxylic acid and additionally contain a polyamine and processes for preserving wood with these preservatives.

Abstract: Wood preservatives based on a copper compound and an aliphatic carboxylic acid and additionally containing a polyamine, and a method for preserving wood with these preservatives.

Abstract: Flame resistant foams and other compositions containing polyurethane and/or polyisocyanurate groups are prepared by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol in the presence of flame retardants, catalysts, blowing agents as well as optionally chain extenders, cross-linkers auxiliaries and additives. The flame retardents comprise a phenol or melamine formaldehyde condensate, pentaerythritol as well as ammonium phosphate and preferably in addition dicyandiamide.

Abstract: Wood preservatives contain a mixture of 2-iodobenzanilide with a quaternary ammonium compound.

Abstract: A wood preservative based on a water-dilutable formulation of the compound di-(N-cyclohexyldiazoniumdioxy)-copper, a polyamine, a complex-forming carboxylic acid and, if required, a salt having a fungicidal anion has a pH in the aqueous solution of not less than 7.5 in the conventional concentration for use.

Abstract: A wood preservative contains a water-soluble, alkaline copper(II) complex and a water-soluble thiocyanate or iodide and may contain a reducing agent.

Abstract: Accelerated fixing of chromate-containing wood preservative salts, in which freshly impregnated timbers are subjected to fixing with superheated steam, is carried out by a process wherein the freshly impregnated timbers are subjected beforehand to a heat treatment in which both the wood surface and the internal walls of the heating chamber are heated to 60.degree.-100.degree. C., preferably 80.degree.-95.degree. C., and the timbers are then treated with superheated steam in a conventional manner.

Abstract: Fungicides containing an aqueous solution of a salt of 2-(methoxy-carbonylamino)-benzimidazole and a weak acid, and methods of controlling fungi and preserving wood using these solutions.

Abstract: A wood preservative which consists of an aqueous solution containing both an alkyd resin and a fungicidal or insecticidal active ingredient, namely 2,5-dimethylfuran-3-carboxylic acid N-methoxy-N-cyclohexylamide, tributyl-tin benzoate, tributyl-tin naphthenate, gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane, pentachlorophenol laurate, 2-methoxycarbonylamino-benzimidazole or a mixture of these active ingredients.
