Disclosed is a method for the preservation of wood comprising the impregnation of wood, and heating, with a liquid based on a natural oil comprising a conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid. Preferred are oils comprising a multiple conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid, such as calendula oil or tung oil. The liquid can comprise the oil itself, in an unmodified form, or it can comprise a modification thereof in the form of a Diels-Alder adduct with a dienophile such as maleic anhydride.
Low VOC, unsaturated alkyd resins are obtained by reacting (A) to (E): (A) optionally from 0 to 30% w/w naturally occurring Rosin, comprising from 40 to 80 w/w parts per hundred of Rosin of an unsaturated mono carboxylic acid with at least one C15-25cyclohydrocarbo moiety capable of a Diels Alder or Ene reaction (preferred monoacids being abietic acid, palustric acid, levopimaric acid, sandaracopimaric acid, and/or anhydrides thereof); (B) from 25 to 80% w/w of a linear C12-60hydrocarbo carboxylic acid with at least one (preferably at least two conjugated) C═C bonds (=unsaturated fatty acid); (C) optionally from 1 to 30% w/w of an ethylenically unsaturated C5-6hydrocarbo dicarboxylic acid and/or anhydride thereof, being reactive as a dienophile and/or enophile with A and/or B (preferred for C are itaconic acid, citraconic acid and/or anhydrides thereof); (D) from 1 to 40% w/w of at least one polyol; (E) optionally at least one monomer other than A to D—the total of A to E being 100%. There is a further optional step (II) where more or new (C) may be blended with the alkyd resin; the amount of C in blend being from 1 to 30 parts w/w of 100 parts of monomers (A) to (E)—and where (C) is at least used as a monomer and/or as a diluent in the blend and where alkyd resin (i) has acid value of <50 KOH/g of alkyd; (ii) Mn of >=1200 g/mol (iii) oil length <80; (iv) optionally biorenewable content >=50%.

This invention relates to a composition comprising, consisting of or alternatively consisting essentially of a stabilized furfural or glycol ester of a vegetable oil fatty acid and an antioxidant such as butylated hydroxy toluene. This invention also relates to latex film-forming compositions containing stabilized furfural or glycol esters, such as a stabilized propylene glycol monoester (PGME) mixture. This invention is also directed to methods of stabilizing furfural or glycol esters of a vegetable fatty acid by contacting the esters with an antioxidant such as butylated hydroxy toluene. This invention also includes methods of preparing film-forming compositions comprising a stabilized furfural or glycol ester, such as the stabilized PGME mixture disclosed herein.
