Alternatives to Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) for Residential Construction
FREE Registration is required
Overview: For decades, chromated copper arsenate (CCA) was the primary preservative for treated wood used in residential construction. However, recent label changes submitted by CCA registrants will withdraw CCA from most residential applications. This action has increased interest in arsenic-free preservative systems that have been standardized by the American Wood Preservers Association. All of the CCA alternatives rely on copper as their primary biocide, although some have co-biocides to help prevent attack by copper-tolerant fungi. This paper focuses on the alternative treatments have appearance and handling properties similar to those of CCA and are likely to be readily accepted by consumers.
