PRESSUR.E TR.EAITIENT of DOUOTAS FIR

CCA IREATTEIIT "TO RETUSAI''.

Efforts to protect Douglas fir lumber with CCA pressure treatment practices have usually proven unsuccessful. Because there have been instances of structure failure*, local and state building officials are on the lookout for insufficiently treated Douglas fir lumber resulting from misinterpretations of the AWPA standards.

Chemonite is the registered trade name for Ammoniacal Copper Zinc Arsenate (ACZA).It was initially formulated at the University of California in the 1920's, and developed for commercial use inthe 1940's, byJ.H. Baxter, a California corporation with timber holdings and treating plants in California, Oregon, and Washington. They continue to hold the product's license today. Chemonite-treated wood has maintained its structural integrity for over 50 years, with no reported removal due to failure.
