Abstract

The present invention provides a method and composition for preserving wood and other cellulose based materials against destructive organisms responsible for rot and decay, namely fungus and insects. The composition comprises an aqueous ammoniacal solution of a preservative metal compound and an organic acid selected from the group consisting of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids containing 2-10 carbon atoms per molecule, aliphatic mono, di or tricarboxylic hydroxy acids containing 2-6 carbon atoms per molecule or a mixture of these acids and/or their salts. The preservative composition may be applied by dipping, soaking, spraying, brushing or by any other well known means including vacuum and/or pressure applications.
