<p>The disclosure relates to a method of protecting wood or other cellulosic material from decay by copper-tolerant fungi selected from the group consisting of Serpula himantioides, Antrodia spp, Gloeophyllum abietinum, Gloeophyllum sepiarium, Paxillus panuodes, Stereum hirsutum and Fomitopsis palustris, wherein the method fcomprising the step of applying to said wood or other cellulosic material a preservative composition comprisinga biocidal metal compound, a 1,2,4-triazole and a didecyl quaternary ammonium cation. Didecyldimethyl quaternary ammonium compounds are particularly preferred. The biocidal metal compound is preferably a copper compound selected from basic copper carbonate, copper (II) acetate, copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate, copper (II) hydroxide, copper (II) oxide, copper (I) oxide, copper-HDC, and copper pyrithione, or a zinc compound selected from zinc oxide, zinc carbonate, zinc borate and zinc pyrithione; and the 1,2,4-triazole is selected from triadimefon, triadimenol, triazbutil, propiconazole, cyproconazole, difenoconazole, fluquinconazole, tebuconazole, flusilazole, uniconazole, diniconazole, bitertanol, hexaconazole, azaconazole, flutriafol, epoxyconazole, tetraconazole, penconazole, ipconazole, prothioconazole, metcoazole and mixtures thereof.</p> |
