Abstract
Abstract An aqueous composition having fungicidal and insecticidal properties is described which is useful particularly for treating wood. The aqueous composition comprises (a) at least one oil-soluble metal salt of an organic carboxylic acid having fungicidal properties wherein the metal is zinc, chromium, iron, antimony, lead, mercury or a mixture thereof, (b) at least one halopyridyl phosphate of the formula ##STR1## wherein R represents a halopyridyl group, Z represents oxygen or sulfur, and each R' is independently a lower alkoxy, amino or lower alkylamino group, (c) at least one surfactant, and (d) from about 60 to 99% of water. Such compositions penetrate into both dry and green wood rather readily, and the result is wood which is resistant to fungi and insects.
