Microemulsion formulations for wood protection chemicals
1993 - IRG/WP 93-30030
…such microemulsions for a broad spectrum wood biocide, 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, have been evaluated regarding wood penetration and leachability. The results indicated that the active ingredient has a deeper penetration in the wood treated by microemulsions than by emulsion and solvent…

In ground performance of wood treated with a substituted isothiazolone
1990 - IRG/WP 3612
Isothiazolones (I.T.A.'s) are a class of biocides that have potential for use as wood preservatives. The substituted ITA, RH-287, (4,5,dichloro-2-n-octyl-isothiazolone-3-one) is being evaluated as a broad spectrum wood preservative. The evaluation pro…
