Multipurpose product with prolonged antimicrobial action comprising at least one quaternary ammonium and copper nanoparticles in non-oxidized metallic state (Cu.sup.0), where copper nanoparticles in non-oxidized metallic state (Cu.sup.0) are found nucleated in at least one quaternary ammonium. A method for producing a multipurpose product with prolonged antimicrobial action.

A protectant and sealant solution and method of use thereof, configured to protect wood from premature decay when disposed in contact with the earth. The solution is composed of processed hemp oil which is mixed with bio-diesel and other oils to form the protectant solution. The wood is then impregnated with the solution via pressure treatment within a retort cylinder. The solution is configured to protect utility poles and other wooden construction members which are known for prolonged contact with soil. The solution is designed as a safe replacement for pentachlorophenol solutions which have been found to be harmful to the soil and water table.

Provided herein is a liquid pesticidal composition, comprising: (a) 3 to 10 mass% of a pesticidal active ingredient having a water solubility at 25° C. of 15 mass ppm or less and a melting point of 10° C. or more; (b) 3.6 to 60 mass% of a first solvent that is ε-caprolactone; (c) 19.5 to 85 mass% of a second solvent having a water solubility at 25° C. of 1 mass% or less; and (d) 1 to 30 mass% of a surfactant, wherein a total content of the pesticidal active ingredient, the first solvent, the second solvent, and the surfactant is 60 mass% or more, a content of the first solvent relative to a content of the pesticidal active ingredient is from 1.2 to 15.0 times by mass, and a content of the second solvent relative to the content of the pesticidal active ingredient is from 6.5 to 25.0 times by mass.
