Wood preservative for afterprotection
The present invention relates to the use of a wood preservative
for the afterprotection of wood, comprising a copper compound, a
polyamine and an inorganic fungicide, and a bandage for the af-
terprotection of wood, which contains this wood preservative.
For the aftercare of transmission-line poles in the supply
network of the post office and electricity supply companies or
similar round wood stocks, in particular in the area of the
ground-air zone, bandages containing water-soluble wood preser-
vatives are applied. It is known to employ water-soluble salts
based on inorganic fluorine compounds for this, such as, for
example, alkali metal fluorides, in some cases in combination
with alkali metal bichromate or boron compounds such as boric
acid or borax. These salts, however, are exclusively active
against wood-destroying Basidiomycetes, the soft rot activity for
installation with soil contact is absent. Proposed substances ha-
ving soft rot activity are, on the one hand, dinitrophenol (Barry
A. Richardson: Wood preservation - The Construction Press Ltd.,
Lancaster p. 181) or combinations of the abovementioned compounds
with water-soluble copper salts such as, for example, copper sul-
fate or copper acetate. Mixtures of copper sulfate, also in com-
bination with alkali bichromate, with boric acid and copper
acetate with alkali metal fluoroborates are prior art. Dinitro-
phenol has meanwhile been excluded because of its toxicity.
The water-soluble abovementioned copper compounds on their own,
but also in the abovementioned combinations, to not have good
diffusion power adequate to penetrate, for example, the sapwood
of pine poles, even on long standing, and to reach the core.
Wood preservatives based on copper and amines as complexing
agents have been proposed for large-scale impregnation, in parti-
cular boiler pressure impregnation.
EP B 211 181 relates to a wood preservative based on a copper
salt and monoethanolamine for the boiler pressure impregnation of
wood.
EP-B 270 848 describes a wood preservative based on a copper
compound, a carboxylic acid and an aliphatic polyamine for boiler
pressure impregnation.


0975/00098 CA 02248031 1998-09-O1

EP-A 423 674 describes a wood preservative based on a metal salt
of an N-organyldiazeniumdioxy compound and a complex-forming
polymeric amine for the boiler pressure process.
It is common to all the wood preservatives described above that
they have a high fixing power for the copper in the wood. By
means of this, the diffusion power of the copper is restricted,
which is why these systems are unsuitable for the afterprotection
of wood.
_ _
Known, currently used systems for the afterprotection of wood
contain, for example, combinations of copper naphthenate, boron
and fluorine compounds. An example of this type of product, which
1s mainly used in the USA, is CuRAP 20 (manufacturer: ISK Bio-
tech), a paste which contains 18.16 of amine-based copper
naphthenate and 40~ of sodium tetraborate decahydrate. Investiga-
tions on poles (species of wood Douglas fir or pine) which had
been treated with this product showed after a service life of
from 1 to 3 years that copper for the major part is virtually
only distributed near to the surface (0-10 mm) in the wood (with
investigated penetration depths of up to 25 mm) and these
products thus only have a very restricted diffusion power for
copper (Conserving energy by environmentally acceptable practices
1n maintaining and procuring transmission poles. 15th annual
report, September 1995, J.J. Morrell, Oregon State University,
Corvallis, Oregon.).
The subsequently published WO 96/233636 describes wood
preservatives in paste form, which comprise a fungicidal metal
compound and a fungicidal boron compound. The metal compounds
also include copper complexed with aminocarboxylic acids or
polycarboxylic acids.
The subsequently published WO 96/233635 describes a wood
preservative which comprises a metal chelate. Copper complexes
with amino acids, iminodiacetic acid, ethylenediaminotetraacetic
acid, dicarboxylic acids and polyphosphates are described.
It is an object of the present invention to make available a wood
preservative for the afterprotection of wood, which has a good
diffusion power of the copper in the wood, with good protection
at the same time against soft rot and Basidiomycetes.

It is a further object of the present invention to make available a bandage
which
contains this wood preservative for the afterprotection of wood.
It has now been found that the above objects may be achieved by a wood
preservative based on a copper compound, a polyamine and an inorganic
fungicide, if appropriate a complex-forming organic carboxylic acid or its
ammonium of alkali metal salts, if appropriate further auxiliairies and if
appropriate water for the afterprorection of wood.
More specifically, the invention as broadly claimed relates to a process for
the
afterprotection of wood, which comprises treating the wood with an effective
wood preserving amount of a wood preservative composition comprising a
copper compound, a polyamine or alkanolamine having at least two nitrogen
atoms, and an inorganic fungicide, the treatment being effected by means of a
bandaging process, an inoculation injection process, a borehole process or a
paste process.
The invention also relates to a bandage for the afterprotection of wood,
comprising an effective wood preserving amount of a wood preservative
composition comprising a copper compound, a polyamine or alkanolamine
having at least two nitrogen atoms, and an inorganic fungicide.
These wood preservatives are particularly"suitable for the after-
protection and the aftercare of wood and are used as bandages, in
the inoculation injection process, borehole process and paste
process. They penetrate the sapwood in the presence of moisture,
e.g. soil contact, and have a good deep action.
Copper compounds which can be used are water-soluble or -insolu-
ble compounds, e.g. copper sulfate, copper acetate, copper cit-
rate, copper naphthenate, copper hydroxide, copper hydroxycarbo-
nate, copper oxychloride, copper oxide, copper borate, copper
fluoride, copper fluoroborate, bis(N-cyclohexyldiazeniumdio-
xy)copper or mixtures thereof.

copper hydroxycarbonate, copper hydroxide and mixtures thereof
are preferred.
Copper hydroxide, especially stabilized copper hydroxide (Nord-
deutsche Affinerie), is particularly preferably used.
The action of the wood preservative can be improved by salts of
N-cyclohexyldiazenium dioxide and other diazenium dioxides, e.g.
as the potassium salt, with copper compounds the abovementioned
bis(N-cyclohexyldiazeniumdioxy)copper generally being formed.
The mixtures contain from 0.25 to 20 % by weight of copper calcu-
fated as the element. Some of the copper can also be replaced,
for example, by a corresponding zinc compound.
Polyamines which can be used are alkyleneamines having
3-9 C atoms and 2-4 N atoms such as, for example, ethylene-
diamine, 2-diethylaminoethylamine, diethylenetriamine, triethyl-
enetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, 1,2-diaminopropane,
1,3-diaminopropane, dipropylenetriamine, tripropylenetetramine,

fluorides, silicon fluorides, ammonium fluorides, ammonium hydro-
gen fluorides; fluoroborates; fluorophosphates; difluorophospha-
tes and mixtures thereof.
Sodium fluoroborate, potassium fluoroborate, boric acid, sodium
fluoride and mixtures thereof are preferred.
Furthermore, complex-forming organic carboxylic acids such as
hydroxycarboxylic acids, aminocarboxylic acids, nitrogen-contai-
ning polycarboxylic acids, ammonium or alkali metal salts thereof
and mixtures thereof can additionally be used.
Suitable hydroxycarboxylic acids which can additionally be used
are, for example, glycolic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid,
citric acid, malic acid, ammonium or alkali metal salts thereof
and mixtures thereof.
~lno acids such as, for example, glycine, sarcosine, ammonium or
alkali metal salts thereof and mixtures thereof can also be addi-
tionally used.

If further components are additionally used for the three-part
combination copper compound, polyamine and inorganic fungicide,
the following wood preservatives have proven suitable:
Composition consisting of
a) 5-40 % by weight of a copper compound
5-35 % by weight of a polyamine
10-50 % by weight of an inorganic fungicide
. _5~5 % by weight of a complex-forming organic carboxylic
acid
2.5-35 % by weight of water;
or
b) 5-40 % by weight of a copper compound
5-35 % by weight of a polyamine
10-50 % by weight of an inorganic fungicide
5-25 % by weight of a complex-forming organic carboxylic
acid
2.5-20 % by weight of an aliphatic C5-C2o-carboxylic or
dicarboxylic acid
2.5-35 % by weight of water;
or especially when using binders and paste-forming agents
c) 5-40 % by weight of a copper compound
5-35 % by weight of a polyamine
5-50 % by weight of an inorganic fungicide
0-5 % by weight of an alkali metal salt of n-cyclohexyl-
diazeniumdioxide
0-20 % by weight of a complex-forming organic carboxylic acid
5-40 % by weight of an auxiliary
0-30 % by weight of water.
The wood preservatives, which can be present as concentrates or
diluted with water as viscous solutions or in the form of pastes,
if appropriate also as a solid salt, is best carried out by pre-
dissolving a polyamine and, if appropriate, complex-forming orga-
nic carboxylic acids or their ammonium or alkali metal salts and,
if appropriate, auxiliaries, especially aliphatic CS-C2o-carboxy-
lic or dicarboxylic acids, using water. The copper compounds are
then dissolved therein. The use of water can be dispensed with if
the substances employed contain sufficient water (eg. water of
crystallization). Solid salts formed from copper compounds, poly-


0975/00098 CA 02248031 1998-09-O1

amine and, if appropriate, complex-forming organic carboxylic
acids or their ammonium or alkali metal salts can also be used.
This premixture can even be present as a highly concentrated
paste to which the inorganic fungicides, and if appropriate
further auxiliaries, are then added with stirring.
The pH of the wood preservative in the form of the concentrates
°r pastes is in general between pH 7 and 12. Depending on the
application, the concentrates or pastes can on the one hand be
applied or introduced directly or with addition of binder on to
or into a suitable carrier material. Suitable carrier materials
are, for example, plastic films or webs, e.g. of glass fiber,
p°lypropylene, polyester or viscose fiber, foam or other porous
plastic materials. In this case, the concentrates are applied to
the carrier material, for example, by rolling (calendering).
Binders which can be used are, for example, acrylate resins in
the form of aqueous dispersions, powders; plastisols,
aminoplastics, phenolic plastics, PVC-containing plasticizers.
The system concentrate/carrier material is usually then subjected
to drying, for example air drying or, for example, in an oven at
about 100 - 180°C, the concentrate drying on in highly viscous
form and being bound to the carrier material; this binding can be
improved, if appropriate, by the abovementioned addition of
binders, at the same time the release of wood preservative can be
delayed after application by this means, if necessary, with a
high dose of binder.
The concentrates, in particular on addition of binder, can also
be pressed in the form of extrudates, dried and cut to length in
order to obtain salt cartridges for insertion into wood by means
of boreholes, e.g. in the borehole process. It is also possible
to produce cartridges made of powdered mixtures, e.g. when using
spray-dried concentrates or using powdered raw materials in the
form of pressed articles of salt.
The diffusible pastes and concentrates or cartridges can be used
in the various methods of afterprotection and aftercare when, in
the case of particularly endangered wood components, relatively
large preservative introduction amounts and penetration depths
should be achieved in certain areas.
The pastes are suitable for the bandage process, such as single
bandages or multiple bandages, the inoculation injection process,
borehole process and the paste process.

Application takes place in the form of preventive or alternati-
vely controlling protective treatments in order
a) permanently to protect timber otherwise not treated with wood
preservatives only in specific sections, e_g. roof beam
heads;
b) to increase the amounts introduced or penetration depths
achieved in the first treatment in the danger areas;
c) in timber which has already been used in construction to
supplement or increase the preservative content from the ba-
sic protection after a relatively long standing time (period
of use);
d) in timber parts which have been used in construction also to
reach those areas, in particular in the course of a control
measure, which cannot be reached using the customary impreg-
nation process.
The invention is described with the aid of the following exam-
ples:
For the tests, the pastes/concentrates were applied in defined
amounts to foam as a carrier. The foam with the paste then went
through a drying process. The bandage obtained was applied in the
soil-air zone after preparation to round wood stocks made of pine
which had been used in underground construction. This area was
then wound with a self-adhesive PVC film and thus outwardly pro-
tected against the penetration of water.
After a standing time of 12 months, the round wood stocks were
dug out, repeatedly cut up perpendicular to the grain in the area
of the soil-air zone, the wood stock discs were removed and the
copper penetration was determined by reacting (spraying) with a
0.2 $ strength aqueous solution of 4-(2-azopyridyl)resorcinol
monosodium salt (copper reagent).
For the tests, pine round wood stocks having a diameter of at
least 20 cm and sapwood widths z 3 cm were used. In each case, an
amount of about 500 g of concentrate/salt mixture per bandage was
applied, the carrier material was incorporated with the active
compound concentrate such that it was about 10 cm above the soil
level and about 30 cm below the soil level; the covering film


0975/00098 CA 02248031 1998-09-O1
_ 9
overlapped this area by at least 10 cm in each case. The bandage
dimensions here were 40 cm x 80 cm. Per formulation, at least 2
bandages were applied to various round wood stocks and tested for
penetration power.
Example A (not according to the invention)
35 $ by weight of copper sulfate
32 $ by weight of potassium bichromate
_ _
30 ~ by weight of boric acid

The salt was ground, made into a paste with water, acrylate
dispersion (50 ~ strength aqueous dispersion of a copolymer of n-
butyl acrylate and styrene) as the binder (10 T concentrate/2 T
water/3 T binder), applied to the foam as carrier and dried at
120°C for at least 15 min. in a continuous flow.
The bandages obtained were applied to round wood stocks. The tim-
ber was used for construction after a standing period of 12
months, after cutting up the average copper penetration was de-
termined.
