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 crosslinking polyvinyl acetate (XPVAc or X-PVAc) adhesive is applied as a primer (i.e., a basecoat) or an exterior coat (i.e., a top coat) on a wood preservation product which is mainly treated with a water-based preservative. By sealing the exterior wood surfaces, the new coating system not only effectively prevents the leaching of the preservative by bonding and chelating with the unfixed preservative compounds or complexes at the surface layer, but it also significantly reduces surface aging of wood, maintains effective preservation functions, and provides a longer service life to the wood preservation product.

A flame-retardant composition for wood comprises boric acid, ammonium phosphate dibasic, ammonium borate octahydrate, sodium borate, and a solvent.

Disclosed herein are compositions including a dispersion of solid particles of a substantially insoluble copper compound, and an organic biocide, wherein at least 20% of all particles of the composition have a particle size greater than 25 microns. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

The invention relates to biocidal mixtures comprising penflufen-containing polymer particles, copper compounds and specific alkanolamines and to the use thereof for protecting wood and wood products, and also to wood preservatives comprising biocidal mixtures and optionally further active ingredients.

To provide a board material processing composition allowing for production of a board material laminate that is non-combustible and is excellent in adhesion performance. In order to solve this problem, a board material processing composition inhibiting combustion of a board material due to heating, comprises: a carbonization promotion component, being inorganic, promoting carbonization of an organic component within the board material at the heating; a chain inhibition component, being inorganic, inhibiting a reaction chain to a neighboring component due to a product of endothermic decomposition generated at the heating; and binder particles, being inorganic and hydrophobic, bonding the organic component within the board material to the carbonization promotion component and the chain inhibition component, wherein the carbonization promotion component includes boric acid, the chain inhibition component includes ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and the binder particles include silica sand.

Disclosed herein are compositions including a dispersion of solid particles of a substantially insoluble copper compound, and an organic biocide, wherein at least 20% of all particles of the composition have a particle size greater than 25 microns. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

The invention relates to cation borate present in powder form, with a small grain size and low water solubility. The cation borate present in powder form and a suspension produced therefrom are suitable for example for the treatment of coating materials (such as wood preservatives), in particular fungicidal, biocidal and insecticidal treatment.

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising a dispersion of solid particles of a substantially insoluble copper compound; a boron-containing compound, a fluoride-containing compound, or a combination thereof; wherein at least 20% of the particles of the composition comprise particles having particle size greater than 25 microns. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same.

The invention claims a flame-retardant and corrosion-resistant fiber bamboo substrate and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: 1) cutting raw bamboo into bamboo filaments; 2) flame-retardant treatment: soaking the bamboo filaments prepared in Step 1) in aqueous solution of a flame retardant; 3) drying: drying the flame-retardant treated bamboo filaments at 55 C. to 65 C. until the absolute water content is not more than 12%; 4) carbonized pyrolysis: feeding the dried bamboo filaments into a carbonized pyrolysis kiln, to be high-temperature treated according to a pyrolysis gradient; and, 5) sequentially gumming, post-gumming drying, pressing, curing, maintaining and splitting to obtain a bamboo substrate. The bamboo substrate has high stability, no cracks on the product surface, enhanced corrosion resistance and excellent flame retardance, and may be used in various climate conditions and environments.
