Treatment Process
Woodchem poles are treated using CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate)
- Copper and Arsenic– to protect against fungal decay and wood-boring insects.
- Chromium—it acts as a lock..to fix the preservative to the cell structure in the wood. It locks the copper & arsenic into the wood.
The CCA is impregnated into the Poles using a vacuum & pressure cycle. This involves a pressure cylinder.
