In coastal areas where marine-boring organisms like Teredo, Pholad, and Limnoria tripunctata are present, there's an important need to protect below-water pilings. CHEMONITE/ ACZA provides the best possible protection for above-water and below-water stfuctufes everywhere, from freezing seas to tropical waters.

Better Docks, Better Boating

Some of the most beautiful dock facilities in the state of Oregon are Planned and developed by the Oregon State Marine Board. This unique state agency is dedicated to making Oregon boating as enjoyable as possible for tourists and residents alike. One of the reasons the facilities are as attractive as they are, is that the Board is an enthusiastic user of kiln-dried, CHEMONITE/ ACZA-treated Douglas fir. According to Ron Rhodehamel, Chief Facilities Engineer, the Marine Board at first dabbled with CcA-treated Douglas fir in its standard float module design, but the treatment didn't consistently meet the specified O.6 retention.

So, since 1988, the Board has used ANflPAcertified, CHEMONITE/ ACZA'treated Douglas fir in hundreds of float designs. Rhodehamel says these floats have performed beautifully in Oregon's grueling river conditions. He adds that kiln drying has made a big difference in the appearance of their CHEMONITE/ACZAtreated wood in the last couple years.

Treated For Tomorrow's Boaters

The first Chemonite-treated floats, built in 1988, still show no signs of deterioration. Rhodehamel is confident that the hundreds of CHEMONITE/ ACZA-tre ated floats across Oregon will last for decades.
