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.
Preserve® CA (Copper Azole) Pressure treated wood provides long-term protection for your exterior projects from fungal decay and termite attack. Preserve CA can be used for a wide variety of residential, commercial, and agricultural projects including Above Ground, Ground Contact, Fresh-Water Immersion, and Salt-Water applications.
Copper Azole (CAC) is registered for use on lumber, timbers, landscape ties, fence posts, building and utility poles, freshwater and marine pilings, seawalls, decking, wood shingles, and wood framing structures.
Preserve®CA 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.
