The composition comprises an aqueous ammoniacal solution of a preservative metal compound and an organic acid selected from the group consisting of aliphatic dicarboxilic acids containing 2-10 carbon atoms per molecule, aliphatic mono, di or tricaboxilic hydroxy acids containing 2-6 carbon atoms per molecule or a mixture of these acids and/or their salts. The preservative composition may be applied by dipping, soaking, spraying, brushing or by any other well known means including vacuum and/or pressure applications. |
