Wolmanized® Heavy Duty™ Wood

Wolmanized® Heavy Duty™ wood is poles, piles, timbers, posts, or plywood that is pressure-treated with CCA preservative to provide protection from termites and fungal decay.

The chemical used to preserve Wolmanized® Heavy Duty™ pressure-treated wood is a mixture of the oxides of copper, chromium, and arsenate known as CCA. For 70 years, CCA-treated wood has been specified in a wide variety of applications; as of December 31, 2003, this wood may be produced only for listed uses. When used as recommended, CCA-treated wood is harmless to people, plants, and animals. Its use provides environmental benefits as well as decades of service.
