How do I know wood is quality treated?
Quality is assured in a couple of different ways. Treaters who preserve the wood perform onsite testing, making sure the wood meets standards. Additionally, an independent agency analyzes treated wood cores (both onsite and in their lab) taken from lumber or timbers to determine whether the preserved wood meets the penetration standards outlined in the AWPA Book of Standards.
Why is wood incised?
Incising is the practice of putting small cuts on the surfaces of wood prior to treatment to enhance preservative penetration and absorption. It’s required for certain refractory species, which are otherwise difficult to treat with proper penetration and retention.
Active fungicide tebuconazole
Did you know:
The active fungicide tebuconazole used in our MCA-B, is the same fungicide used in numerous agricultural and landscape applications to control fungi, bacteria and virus affecting plants
Copper
Why is copper a key ingredient in wood preservation?
Copper works by preventing fungal spores from germinating and therefore propagating/consuming the cellulose fiber in wood members
CCA
CCA has been in use as a wood preservative for almost 100yrs (since the 1930’s)
Creosote
Where does creosote come from?
It is made from coal tar distillation and is the oldest wood preservative in use today
PT wood
Why is PT wood better than Cedar?
A) the wood in most cases is less malleable than Cedar, so less damaging on decks or high traffic areas and
B) PT wood has a longer lifespan, and is more durable than Cedar, especially if treated to Ground Contact retention
