| abstract |
A vehicle composition comprising toluene (40-70 %), xylene (6-40 %), benzophenone (3-18 %), butylglycol (2-9 %), cetyl acetate (1-7 %) and methanol (0.3-4 %) respectively by weight of the total composition is useful for applying chemical compounds to wood. The composition vehicle has a high wood penetration index and can be used to prepare wood treatment compositions which contain one or more chemical compounds, e.g. insecticides and/or fungicides, and which are used to treat or prevent damage caused by attacks by biological agents that are harmful to wood. |
