What Does CCA Stand For?

CCA stands for Copper Chromium Arsenic

CCA, or Copper Chromium Arsenic, is a chemical preservative commonly used in wood treatment processes to enhance durability and resistance to decay, insects, and fungi. It consists of a mixture of copper, chromium, and arsenic compounds that penetrate the wood fibers, providing long-lasting protection, particularly in outdoor applications such as utility poles, decking, and fencing. CCA-treated wood has been a widely utilized material in construction; however, it is important to handle it with care due to the toxic nature of its components.
