<p>The invention relates to a composition for protecting timber, especially freshly sawn timber, against growth by blue-stain and mold fungi. The novel composition is a formulation comprising at least one quaternary phosphonium compound of formula [(C4H9)3P CnH2n+1]<+> X<-> or [(C4H9)3P CnH2n+1]2<+>SO4<2><->, wherein n is an integer from 8 to 16 and X<-> is an anion selected from the group consisting of F<->, Cl<->, Br<->, I<->, NO3<-> and HSO4<->, and at least one alkali metal salt of an aliphatic C6-C12 monocarboxylic acid.</p> |
