- the degree of penetration and uniformity of distribution of the particles into the wood cellular structure is related to the prevalence of particles with relatively large particle size. If the biocide used in the formulation has a particle size in excess of 25 microns, the particles may be filtered by the surface of the wood and thus may not be uniformly distributed within the cell and cell wall. Furthermore, particles with long axes greater than 25 microns may clog tracheids and inhibit the uptake of additional particles.
- the primary entry and movement of fluids through wood tissue occurs primarily through the tracheids and border pits. Tracheids generally have a diameter of very roughly thirty microns. Fluids are transferred between wood cells by means of border pits.
- the overall diameter of the border pit chambers typically varies from a several microns up to thirty microns while the diameter of the pit openings (via the microfibrils) typically varies from several hundredths of a micron to several microns.
- the particle size of the micronized preservative is less than the diameter of the pit openings, a complete penetration and a uniform distribution of micronized preservative in wood can often take place.
- the compositions disclosed herein contain micronized particles, they can contain particles which are not micronized, i.e., with diameters which are outside the range of from 0.001 to 25 microns.

Regardless of how many components are micronized, it is preferred that 98% (by weight) of the total number of particles in the composition have diameters which are less than 25 microns, and preferably less than 10 microns, more preferably, less than 5 micron and more preferably, less than 1 micron.
- Particle size distributions which conform to the above size distribution parameters can be prepared by methods known in the art. For example, particles can be obtained by grinding a mixture of biocide and dispersant. The particle size distribution can be controlled by the ratio of dispersant to biocide, grinding times, the size of grinding media, etc. The aforementioned parameters can be adjusted in order to obtain a suitable non- clogging particle distribution.

- the foregoing includes concentrates of the invention which can be stored or diluted as desired with a solvent or carrier and used to preserve wood. Individual concentrates of azole and/or quaternary ammonium compound or pyrethroid compounds can also be prepared and mixed together, with or without a diluent (a carrier or solvent (water, if desired) to form compositions for use in wood treatment.

- a preservative treating formulation is prepared by adding 0.15kg of the cyproconazole/permethrin dispersion from Example 7 to 50.0kg of water. This fluid is allowed to mix until a homogenous fluid is prepared. This fluid was used to treat southern pine samples measuring at 1.5" x 5.5" x 48" by the full-cell process. The weight of the treated samples double and demonstrate a uniform distribution of particles throughout the wood cells and is found to be resistant to decay and insect attack.
- a preservative treating composition is prepared by adding 20.Og of dispersion from Example 12 to 5.0 kg of water.
- the resulting fluid contains about 0.10% tebuconazole and 0.02% bifenthrin.
- This fluid is then used to treat southern pine measuring 1.5" x 3.5" x 10" using the full-cell process wherein the wood is initially placed under a vacuum of 30" Hg for 30 minutes, followed by the addition of the treating solution.
- the system is then pressurized for 30 minutes at 100 psi.
- a final vacuum of 28" Hg for 30 minutes is applied to the wood to remove residual liquid.
- the wood is found to contain a uniform distribution of preservative particle throughout the cross sections and is resistant to fungal and insect attack.
- a preservative treating composition is prepared by adding 45.Og of dispersion from Example 8 to 5.0 kg of water.
- the resulting fluid contains about 0.05% tebuconazole, 0.05% propiconazole and 0.05% bifenthrin.
- This fluid is then used to treat southern pine measuring 1.5" x 3.5" x 10" using the full-cell process wherein the wood is initially placed under a vacuum of 30" Hg for 30 minutes, followed by the addition of the treating solution. The system is then pressurized for 30 minutes at 100 psi. A final vacuum of 28" Hg for 30 minutes is applied to the wood to remove residual liquid.
- the treated wood is resistant to fungal and insect attack.
- a preservative treating composition containing 0.75% dimethyldidecylammonium carbonate/bicarbonate and 0.010% bifenthrin is prepared by mixing bifenthrin concentrate from Example 2, 50% dimethyldidecylammonium carbonate/bicarbonate and water. This fluid is then used to treat southern pine measuring 1.5" x 3.5" x 10" using the full-cell process wherein the wood is initially placed under a vacuum of 30" Hg for 30 minutes, followed by the addition of the treating solution. The system is then pressurized for 30 minutes at 100 psi. A final vacuum of 28" Hg for 30 minutes is applied to the wood to remove residual liquid. The wood is found to be resistant to fungal and insect attack.
- Example 22 A preservative treating composition containing 0.50% dimethyldidecylammonium carbonate/bicarbonate and 0.009% bifenthrin is prepared by mixing bifenthrin concentrate from Example 2, 50% dimethyldidecylammonium carbonate/bicarbonate and water. This fluid is then used to treat southern pine measuring 1.5" x 3.5" x 10" using the full-cell process wherein the wood is initially placed under a vacuum of 30" Hg for 30 minutes, followed by the addition of the treating solution. The system is then pressurized for 30 minutes at 100 psi. A final vacuum of 28" Hg for 30 minutes is applied to the wood to remove residual liquid. The wood is found to be resistant to fungal and insect attack.
- Preservative treating solutions were prepared by the mixing the concentrates in Example 1 with white spirits.
