The product range includes
waterborne preservative, plastic film film, emitters and water-based rust converters.
The chemicals that preserve the wood, primarily the inorganic
waterborne preservative chromated copper arsenate (CCA), are designed to kill or repel biological organisms.
Effects of
waterborne preservative treatment on mechanical properties.
Natural durability and
waterborne preservative treatability of tamarack.
This treatment effect is common with
waterborne preservative treatments.
The oilborne and
waterborne preservative treatability of ash lumber obtained from the EAB eradication program in southern Michigan was investigated in order to evaluate for the potential for using ash as treated lumber.
This particular mill was selected because in addition to primary conversion, they also run a dry kiln, planer mill, and
waterborne preservative pressure treating facility.
Vick (1990) investigated preservative compatibility with phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin for 13 nonacidic
waterborne preservatives using pretreated aspen veneers.
Preservative-treated wood can be broadly separated into two general categories--oil-borne preservatives and
waterborne preservatives. Oil-borne preservatives use an oil or organic solvent as the carrier during the pressure treatment process, whereas
waterborne preservatives are dissolved in water that then serves as the carrier.

By 1993 more than 80% of treated wood was saturated with
waterborne preservatives, and virtually all of that was CCA, according to a paper published in the Proceedings of the 4th International Wood Preservation Symposium by Carol Clausen, a microbiologist at the U.S.
Waterborne preservatives, such as chromated copper arsenate (CCA), ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA), and ammoniacal copper arsenate (ACA), are applied in water solutions that leave a paintable surface.
