Packing:
- 20-liter plastic can (33 kg net weight of CCA per can);
- 1000 liter IBC (1570 kg net weight of CCA per IBC);
Application: CCA-treated timber is suitable for all end uses of timber from in ground applications such as piles, utility poles, retaining walls, fences as well as above-ground applications like roof trusses and decks.
Instructions on CCA concentrate dilution: ideally, the entire packaging (can or IBC) should be diluted and mixed at one time. Before decanting part lots, be sure to thoroughly mix the packaging with a suitable non-damaging instrument. Check for any residues on the bottom of the packaging. If found, these should be thoroughly mixed in before decanting.
For wood pressure treatment CCA concentrate to be diluted in cold water in the ratio according to the pressure impregnation requirements (preservative retention and penetration requirements), commodity class, and hazard class.
For more details refer to the Tables 2 and 3 below, as well as to the label on the product’s packaging.
