The present application relates to new active combinations which are com-
posed, on the one hand, of ~linulllulull, which is known, and, on the other
S hand, of other known active compounds, and which are highly suitable for the
protection of industrial materials.
It is already known that ~linulllul~ has insecticidal properties.
It is furthermore known that triflumuron can be employed as active compound
against wood-destroying insects (Holz-Zentralbiatt ~L, 524 (1984).
However, wood l~lGS~lv~tiv~ must meet requirements which exceed a mere
inc~ctir~ activity.
It was therefore the aim and object of the present invention to flnd a wood
preservative which is highly effective against wood-damaging insects, in par-
ticular against wood-destroying longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae, Lyctidae,
Bostrychidae and Anobiidae) including termites and against wood-discolouring
and wood-destroying fungi and which has a good long-term action, the efficacy
of the incectici~1e not being adversely affected by the fungicide, and vice versa.
Moreover, the wood ~ v~Liv~ should have good penetration behaviour
towards the wood and the derived timber product and have a markedly lower
vapour pressure compared with the pyrethroids of the prior art.
It was found according to the invention that these aims and objects are met by
a composition or concentrate for the preservation of wood and derived timber
products which comprises 0.01 to 25 % by weight of triflumuron as a mixture
of 0.1 to 99.9 % by weight with at least one fungicide and preferably over 40 %
by weight of a mixture of solvent and/or diluent and/ or organochemical binder

bons with a boiling range of 180 to 220C and/or spindle oil and/or mono-
chloronaphthalene, preferably a-monochloron~rhthsllpne~ are used.
Pdrt of the organic oily or oil-type solvents of low volatility with an evaporation
number of above 35 and a flash point of above 30C, preferably above 45~C, can
be replaced by organochemical solvents of high or medium volatility, with the
proviso that the solvent mixture also has an evaporation number of above 35
and a flash point of above 30aC, preferably above 45CC, and that the insecti-
cide/fungicide mixture is soluble or emulsifiable in this solvent mixture.
In a preferred embodiment, part of the organochemical solvent or solvent
mixture or an aliphatic polar organochemical solvent or solvent mixture is
replaced. Solvents which are preferably used are aliphatic organochemical
solvents which contain hydroxyl and/or ester and/or ether groups, such as, for
example, glycol ethers, esters or the like.
Orgdnochemical binders which are used within the scope of the present inven-
tion are the bindmg drying oils and/or synthetic resins which are known per se
and can be diluted in water and/or dissolved or dispersel or emulsified in the

organochemical solvents employed, in particular binders composed of, or
comprising, an acrylate resin, a vinyl resin, for example polyvinyl acetate,
polyester resin, polycon~l~nc~til~n or polyaddition resin, polyurethane resin,
alkyd resin or modified alkyd resm, phenol resin, l~ydluc~lJu-l resin, such as
S indene-coumarone resin, silicone resin, drying vegetable and/or drying oilsand/or physically drying binders bagd on a natural and/or synthetic resin.
The synthetic resin used as binder can be employed in the form of an emulsion,
dispersion or solution. Other bmders which can be used are bitumen or bitumi-
nous substances in amounts of up to 10 % by weight. Colorants, pigments,
water repellents, odour-masking C~l~st~nc~c and inhibitors or allti~,UllVi~ , all
of which are known per se, and similar substances can ~ lition~lly be used.
The composition or con~rntr~t~ preferably comprises, according to the inven-
tion, at least one alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin and/or a drying vegetableoil as the organochemical binder. Preferably used according to the invention arealkyd resins with an oil content of over 45 % by weight, preferably 50 to 68 %
by weight.
All or part of the abovementioned binder can be replaced by a f xative (mixture)or a plasticizer (mixture). These additives are intended to prevent volAtili7~ti--n
of the active compounds and crystSIlli7~ti~-n or ,~,,~.,il,i~ioll. They preferably
replace 0.01 to 30 % of the binder (based on 100 % of the binder employed).
The plasticizers are from the chemical classes of the phthalic esters, such as
dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate or ben7yl butyl phthalate, phosphoric esters,
such as tributyl phosphate, adipic esters, such as di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate,
stearates, such as butyl stearate or amyl stearate, oleates, such æ butyl oleate,
glycerol ethers or higher-molecular-weight glycol ethers, glycerol esters and
p-toluenesulphonic esters.
Fixatives are based chemically on polyvinyl alkyl ethers, such as, for example,
polyvinyl methyl ether, or ketones, such æ benzophenone and ethylenebenzo-

hanolamine, or else ammonia.
Also partieularly suitable as solvent or diluent is water, if dy~ idL~ as a

Exdmples of wood which can be protected by the composition according to the
invention or mixtures comprismg it are to be understood as meaning: construc-
tion timber, wooden beams, railway sleepers, bridge components, jetties,
wooden vehicles, boxes, pallets, cont~iner~, telephone poles, wood laggings,
windows and doors made of wood, plywood, particleboard, joiner's work, or
wood produets whieh, quite generally, are used in eonstruetion or in joinery.
A partieularly effieient proteetion of wood is aehieved by industrial-seale
ldlion proeesses, for exdmple vaeuum proeesses, double-vacuum pro-
cesses or processes cdrried out under pressure.
The wood ~ a~ S used for the protection of wood and derived timber
products preferably comprise ~lillulllul~ at a concentration of 0.001 to 3 % by
weight and the fungicide, or fungicides, at a concentration of 0.1 to 10 % by
weight.
Preferred CIJlllp~ ,lls (ready-to-use compositions) preferably comprise 0.2 to
3 % by weight of the fungicide, 0.005 to 1 % by weight, preferably 0.01 to
0.5 % by weight, of ~lillul~lul~ll, if d~ plidle in combination with a further
insecticide, in particular cyfluthrin, and at least one organochemical solvent or
solvent mixture and/or an oily or oil-type orgdnochemical solvent or solvent
mixture of low volatility and/or a polar organochemical solvent or solvent
mixture and/or water and emulsifier and/or wetting agent and, if appropriate,
0 to 5 % by weight, preferably 0.1 to 3 % by weight, of fixdtive and/or other
additives as the remainder.

Particularly preferred (ready-to-use) compositions comprise 2 to 30 % by
weight, preferably S to 22 % by weight, calculated as solids, of a synthetic resin
binder, preferably an allcyd resin and/or a drying vegetable oil and at least one
organochemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or an oily or oil-type organo-
chemical solvent or solvent mixture of low volatility and/or a polar organo-
chemical solvent or solvent mixture and/ or water and emulsifier and/or wetting
agent and, if ~,U,u~u~Jl;dte~ d~ c~nt~ colourants, pi~ments, anti-settlingagentsand/or UV stabilizers as the remainder.
Concentrates for the preservation of wood and derived timber products prefer-
ably comprise 0.2 to 25 % by weight, preferably 3 to 8 % by weight, of the
fungicide, O.OS to 5 % by weight, preferably O.S to 1% by weight, of
~lillulllu~ull~ if alu~lulJI;a~ in combination with a further ;".~ , 5 to 40 %

solvent or solvent mixture of low volatility and/or a polar organochemical
solvent or solvent mixture and/or a penetrant and/or water and an emulsifier
and/or wetting agent as the remainder.
The amount of the compositions or concentrates employed depends on the
species and the occurrence of the insects, microorganisms, the microbial count
and on the medium. Upon use, the optimum amount can be determined in
each case by test series. In general, however, it is suffcient to employ 0.001 to
20 % by weight, preferably 0.05 to 10 % by weight, of the active compound
mixture, based on the material to be protected.
The compositions according to the invention allow to replace the insecticidal
compositions of the prior art in an advantageous manner by more effective
ones. They exhibit good stability and advantageously have a broad spectrum of
action.
