A synergistic aqueous wood preservative composition comprising a copper compound and penflufen. The copper compounds of the compositions of the invention may be soluble, partially solubilized or micronized particles. The penflufen of the compositions of the invention may be solubilized, emulsified or particulate. The wood preservative compositions of the present invention are surprisingly provided as stable dispersions and confer surprising and unexpected resistance to treated wood and wood products.

A wood treatment device may include a container and a closure assembly. The container may include an elongate body with an open end and having an internal expanse for holding a wood-treatment agent in fluid communication with the open end. The closure assembly may be configured, when positioned at the container open end, to close at least partially the open end. The closure assembly may include a release unit having an inner face exposed to the internal expanse and an outer face facing away from the internal expanse. The release unit may be configured to impede passage of the wood-treatment agent through the release unit. In some examples, an adapter may extending distally of the container and have an exposed surface facing the container and defining an opening configured to allow a foot of a manipulation tool to be moved through the opening and pivoted laterally to engage the adapter.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a wood modifier and a method for wood modification, and in particular, to a method for preparing a room temperature cured multifunctional wood modifier and a method for wood modification to solve the problems of high construction temperature, high toxicity, poor leaching-resistance and single function of existing wood modifiers. The method includes: step 1: weighing a hydrophobic polymer resin, an additive, a curing agent and a solvent, mixing and then stirring at room temperature to obtain a functional reagent A; step 2: weighing nanoparticles, a surface modifier and toluene, mixing and then stirring, cleaning with acetone, centrifuging, and drying to obtain a functional reagent B; step 3: adding a functional reagent C into the functional reagent A, evenly stirring, adding the functional reagent B, and performing ultrasonic processing to obtain the multifunctional wood modifier.

A method for preventing damage caused by a fire includes extinguishing the fire by applying a fireproof composition to the fire. The fireproof composition is constituted as an aqueous composition comprising at least one sugar and magnesium chloride (MgCl2). The fire can be a forest, domestic, or industrial fire. The composition can also be applied to protect a product against fire.

The invention relates to the use of penflufen for protecting wood and wood-comprising materials against wood-destroying basidiomycetes.

A two-part flame-retardant, a flame-retardant oriented strand (OSB) and method for forming a flame-retardant OSB is provided. The two-part flame-retardant composition includes an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble flame-retardant and a flame-retardant powder that is incorporated into an oriented strand board without substantially affecting the mechanical properties of the oriented strand board. The method includes applying the aqueous solution containing a water-soluble flame-retardant to an oriented strand board furnish and applying a flame-retardant powder to the wetted furnish, without requiring an additional drying step.
