Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an emulsification-stable pesticidal composition having ant-control, rotcontrol and mildew-control effects. Another object of the present invention is to provide a composition having pesticidal effects, and particularly antimicrobial effects, for protecting industrial materials such as wood, pulp, paper, fibers, adhesives, films subject to deterioration (rotting) and contamination by insects and particularly by microorganisms. A pesticidal composition is used that comprises an emulsification stabilizer selected from the group consisting of lactic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, benzoic acid and a mixture thereof, a fungicide like 2-(thiazol-4ine)benzimidazole; a further triazole-based fungicide component, a pyrethroid insecticide component or a (thia) nicotinyl insecticide or another insecticide component, a mixed solvent comprising a glycol-based solvent and methyl pyrrolidone, and a surfactant.

Abstract: With attention paid to usefulness of ceramics particles as a carrier, provided are a termite control agent 1 exerting a high repelling effect against a termite obtained by mixing the ceramics particles with another material or other materials, which is made of a mixture of ceramics particles holding a liquid containing hinokitiol in pores of the ceramics particles with powder of calcium borate containing ore, and a method for using a termite control agent 1, in which the termite control agent 1 is mixed into soil S as a portion underlying a base concrete section B of a building.

Abstract: A high-security, low-cost, corrosion proof, insect proof such as ant proof, low in formic aldehyde concentration level and significantly useful adhesive for wood is provided and a woody material such as plywood manufactured by the use of the adhesive is also provided.

Abstract: With attention focused on hinokitiol and the usefulness of a porous particulate matter as a carrier, the present invention provides a residential environment improving material 1 including artificial ceramic particles 11 as a major component and a hinokitiol-containing liquid 12 retained in pores 11a of the artificial ceramic particles 11, and uses the residential environment improving material 1 in various building materials and the like, in order to provide a useful residential environment improving material combining hinokitiol and the porous particulate matter as well as to provide excellent building materials and like materials using the residential environment improving material.

Abstract: Electronic information input via an input means is divided into first and second groups e.g. representing information which may not be modified except by a skilled operator, and information which may be modified freely. The information is stored in an information file and display elements are stored in e.g. a related information file. If a request for modification of one of the information elements is input via the input means, a judging means determines, on the basis of controlling information in a controlling information area, whether the information element belongs to the first or second group. If it belongs to the first, a display means displays one of the display elements as e.g. a warning to the operator that the information element may be modified only by a skilled operator. A password system may be provided to identify such a skilled operator.
