Copper Chrome Arsenate
(CCA)
Garden fence and car port , treated with CCA
preservative
|
CCA treated timber is very widely used and
can be seen in fencing, patios, sub-deck structures,
landscaping, poles and posts (particularly in vineyards
and the like) and marinas.
CCA preservatives are used to protect timber from all types of
biological deterioration, including insect, termites, decay, and
marine borers.
The CCA chemicals are designed to interact with wood
constituents so that they fix in the wood and remain there for the
life of the treated product. CCA is a clean, safe preservative.
When used properly CCA is not a hazard to either users or the
environment.
Key Benefits

Always handle the treated timber with care and use protection when
working with the wood. Like untreated timber, you should take
precautions to avoid breathing in sawdust and wood particles and take
care to avoid splinters.
The TPAA recommends that you do not dispose of CCA-treated timber
wastes by burning them indoors nor by using them as barbecue fuel.
