921We supply CCA Type-C Wood Preservative 60% in form of paste, density 1,8-1,9 kg/m3, diluted in cold water at ratio 1:40.
Product name: CCA Type-C Wood Preservative 60%, paste
Manufacturer’s instruction on paste dilution: For wood pressure treatment CCA paste to be diluted in cold water in the ratio 1:40 (one part of CCA paste to 40 parts of cold water). Thus, one drum of 48-50 liters (net weight 90kg) is dissolved in 2000 liters of cold water. From one 50-liter drum of CCA paste - 2050 liters of treating (working) solution is obtained.
Consumption at autoclaving 100 liters of treating (working) solution to 1 m3 of wood.
ELEMENTAL CONCENTRATION IN 20G/L TREATING SOLUTION OF PRESERVATIVE:
Oxide CCA 60% Paste is the copper-chromium-arsenic mixture in the form of paste. When the paste is diluted in ratio 1:40 of cold water the elemental concentrations of copper, chromium and arsenic in the treating solution of preservative complies with the data given in table 1:
Table 1. Active Elements Concentrations in CCA working solution (20 g/L), as per COA
| Active Element | Concentration (g/L) as per COA | Concentration (g/L) as per standard SANS 673:2008 |
| Cu | 1.68 | 1,61 – 1,99 |
| Cr | 2.96 | 2,74 – 3,11 |
| As | 2.76 | 2,32 – 2,93 |
| Total | 7.4 | Minimum 7,3 |
Concentration of active elements in our Oxide CCA 60% Paste (in terms of g/L) complies with the requirements of standard SANS673:2008, Clause 3.2.

| Oxide form |
AWPA specifications | Concentration of Oxide CCA 60% Paste, as 100% oxide basis, (%, m/m) |
| CuO | 17.0% – 21.0% | 17,5 |
| CrO3 | 44.5% – 50.5% | 47,33 |
| As2O5 | 30.0% – 38.0% | 35,17 |
| Total | 100 |
Our Oxide CCA 60% Paste complies with the specifications stipulated by AWPA for CCA Type C in standard AWPA P23-08.

| Cr | 2.96 | 148 | CrO3 | 47.33 | 28,4 |
| As | 2.76 | 138 | As2O5 | 35.17 | 21,1 |
The data shown above demonstrate that Oxide CCA 60% Paste sold by Hippocampus OU complies to all specifications as stipulated by the SANS (South African Bureau of Standards), AWPA (American Wood Protection Association) as well as that of the Russian manufacturer standard TU 2499-001-78576072-2009 .
The concentrations listed above may vary according to the limits stipulated in the standards’ requirements listed above, accordingly.
Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) is a wood preservative, a copper-chromium-arsenic mixture produced in the form of paste, or a liquid. The mixture is diluted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions to give the treating solution a nominal total elemental concentration of copper, chromium and arsenate of 7,3 g/l. A 7,3 g/L total elemental concentration treating solution is equivalent to a 20 g/L solution of a preservative where the copper, chromium and arsenic are expressed as copper sulphate pentahydrate, sodium dichromate dehydrate and arsenic pent oxide dehydrate, respectively.
CCA is the world’s most widely used wood preservative. It is manufactured to national and international standards depending on the country of intended use, including AWPA P23-10 for the USA and SANS 673 for South Africa, TU 2499-001-78576072-2009 for Russia and each manufacturer complies with these standards.
CCA PACKING:

Video #1: CCA Oxide 60% Type C Paste fractions.
Video description: After a long carriage or storage the paste splits up in two fractions, liquid and solid. The solid fraction is the mixture of Cu and Chromium Oxides that couldn’t be dissolved in such a small volume of water, thus in 60% CCA oxide solution it is in the un-dissolved state, precipitating at the bottom of a packaging.
Video #2: CCA oxide 60% paste mixing up before pour off the packaging.
Video description: In this video, we will show you what should be done prior the CCA oxide 60% paste is going to be poured off the packaging. Here is the drum with CCA oxide 60% paste that has been stored for a while in warehouse. Have a look there is the solid fraction that has precipitated at the bottom. The solid fraction is the mixture of Copper and Сhrome Oxides that couldn’t be dissolved in such a small volume of water, thus, in 60% CCA oxide solution it is in undissolved state. Before pouring it off the packaging it should be mixed thoroughly in order to become a homogeneous mixture and could pour out of packaging smoothly.
