CCA H3 – H6
Chromate Copper Arsenate (CCA) is a preservative that has been used extensively around the world for more than 80 years and has stood the test of time.
What does each component of CCA do?
Each of the component chemicals plays an important role in making CCA an effective preservative.
- Copper acts as a fungicide.
- Arsenic is an insecticide and a back-up fungicide.
- Chromium acts as a “fixing” agent.
These components reacting in the presence of wood cellulose to render the copper and arsenic chemicals insoluble. This “fixing“ mechanism involves a chemical reaction, with the formation of a complex mixture of insoluble chromium compounds.
