A vehicle for applying chemical compounds to wood comprises the following components in the indicated approximate percentages by weight of the total: toluene (40-70%), xylene (6-40%), benzophenone (3-18%), butyl glycol (2-9%), cetyl acetate (1-7%) and methanol (0.3-4%). The vehicle has a high wood penetration index and can be used for preparing compositions containing one or more chemical compounds useful for treating wood, for example insecticides and/or fungicides, for the purpose of treating or preventing damage caused by the attack of biological agents harmful for wood. |
