Old South Wood Preserving, LLC
Our treatment process consists of placing southern yellow pine lumber in airtight cylinders, which are then flooded with pressurized water and chemical concentrate. After the treatment cycle is done, the lumber is then removed from the cylinder and stored on a contained drip pad until the product is completely dry. Once dry, our products are ready for shipment to our customers.
SupaTimber® CCA Pressure-treated wood is protected from decay and termite attack with Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) and is suitable for certain commercial and industrial applications such as areas in which wood will be in contact with water, soil, concrete or masonry, subject to periodic wetting or exposed to moisture or high humidity.
CCA treated wood has been treated with an EPA registered pesticide containing inorganic arsenic to protect the wood from insect attack and decay.
Inorganic arsenic penetrates deeply into and remains in the Pressure treated wood for a long period of time. Some chemicals may migrate from treated wood into the surrounding soil over time and may also be dislodged from the wood surface upon contact with skin. Precautions should be taken when handling lumber that has been treated with CCA.
MicroPro® / Lifewood® MCA pressure treated wood products help protect wood from fungal decay and termite attack. The MCA lumber preservative is waterborne, micronized copper quaternary preservative system developed to provide protection for wood exposed in interior or exterior applications.
MCA treated lumber is available for above ground, ground contact and freshwater contact. MCA products are not currently approved for saltwater immersion applications.
MicroPro® MCA is field-tested and proven to last.
To guarantee that our wood is getting the proper treatment, Old South Wood Preserving, LLC uses a third-party inspection team, Timber Products Inspection Inc.
Timber Products Inspection, Inc. visits our treating plant on a regular basis and randomly takes samples of our products to test them for preservative strength and penetration.
This process ensures that our customers are receiving quality wood with every shipment of wood they receive.
