about 0.01 to about 1.0 wt % of a nonionic surfactant mixture comprising alkylpolyglycosides and ethoxylated alcohols;
wherein the pre-polymer has weight average molecular weight (MWw) in the range of from about 125 to about 400 such that the pre-polymer impregnates wood with pressures from about atmospheric to about 15 psig.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to compositions for wood preservation and methods of applying compositions for wood preservation. The compositions comprise nonionic surfactant mixtures and prepolymer. Compositions of nonionic surfactant mixtures and prepolymers can be used advantageously in methods to preserve wood by impregnation of the wood with preservatives at ambient atmospheric pressures.
