- Quaternary ammonium compounds such as didecyldimethyl ammonium carbonate and didecyldimethyl ammonium chloride, are known to have antimicrobial activity. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,523,487, 5,833,741, and 6,080,789. Quaternary ammonium compounds have been found to be particularly useful as wood preservatives. However, quaternary ammonium chlorides have been found to leach rapidly in soil (Nicholas et al., Forest Prod. J, 41 :41 (1991)). Consequently, a metal coupler, such as a copper salt, is frequently added to the quaternary ammonium chlorides to prevent leaching.
