Wood preservatives are active substances or preparations containing active substances which are intended to prevent or combat infestation of wood or wood-based materials by wood-destroying or wood-discolouring organisms. Wood preservation includes all measures that prevent a reduction in value or destruction of wood, wood-based materials or wooden constructions from damage by weathering, insects and fungi and thus ensure a long service life.
