The aim of the research was a new model preservative’s antifungal properties evaluation. The formulation contained 3-Iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC) at the reduced concentration. The IPBC was combined with organosilicon compounds (i.e. alkilosilicones with amino groups or fluorine) for supporting its antifungal properties. Due to the fact, that IPBC can be easily destabilized under the influence of iron oxide or higher temperature, the model formulation contained pigments and as a ready to use (RTU) formulation was subjected to appropriate ageing procedure. The chemical analysis was performed to determine the IPBC concentration in RTU formulation and in the treated wood. The biological examination was performed against microfungi (A. niger, T. viride, P. variotii) and wood destroying fungi (C. puteana).
