PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Wood preservative Oxide CCA 60% is supplied in the form of liquid concentrated mixture of Chromium, Copper, and Arsenic oxides. It is intended for dilution in water according to the dilution rate instructions.
Usage: It is used in the process of wood preservation by means of (CCA autoclave) equipment designed for vacuum-pressure preservation of wood.
PRODUCT FORMULATION

Elemental content proportion balance: Cu : Cr : As = 31% : 37% : 32 respectively.
Formulation: Aqueous solution of constituents expressed as cupric oxide, chromic oxide and arsenic oxide.
Appearance: Dark brown solution with a slight acid odor.
Density: 1,9-2.0 kg/L @ 20°C
pH: 2.0-2.2 @ 3% solution

DILUTION / RETENTION
Table 2. Dilution rate
Concentration of working solution, % w/v | CCA weight (kg) | Water to add * (l) |
3 | 100 | 1955 |
5 | 100 | 1155 |
6 | 100 | 955 |
8 | 100 | 705 |
10 | 100 | 555 |
The entire packaging should be diluted and mixed at one time. Check for any residue on the bottom of the packaging, If found the residue should be thoroughly mixed-in before decanting. When diluting the CCA in water thoroughly stir it mechanically (for up to 30 minutes) to the complete dissolution of thickened agglomerations of water-soluble compounds. At proper dilution, a clear homogeneous treatment solution is to be obtained (see the video). On dissolving in water and stirring, the temperature of the solution is to be kept below 40gr.C.
Table 3. Retention Guide
Hazard Class | Charge treatment retention kg/m3 |
H2 | 5 (all species) |
H3 | softwood 8.1 – hardwood 8.5 |
H4 | softwood 13 – hardwood 19 |
H5 | 19 (all species) |
H6 | 48 (all species) |
Depending on the variation of the impregnation process, by adjusting the amount and duration of pressure and the concentration of treatment solution, the quantity of solution absorbed by the timber in the charge can directly be controlled to the desired levels.
