ACQ
PRESSURE-TREATED WOOD
WITH ADVANCED ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES
There is a major improvement in wood preserving technology. It responds
to a growing market demand for a less toxic, more environmentally
acceptable preservative for wood. It's ACQ Preserve pressure-treated
wood.
For nearly 30 years, wood treated with preservatives containing
chromium and arsenic has been very effective in resisting the elements.
But today, there's a growing sensitivity about certain chemicals and
their impact upon the environment. That's why ACQ Preserve was developed!
New ACQ Preserve pressure-treated wood contains no EPA listed hazardous
compounds like arsenic or chromium. And, it's guaranteed to protect
against rot, decay and termite attack.
In fact, independent Life Cycle Analyses show that ACQ Preserve produces
many times less solid hazardous waste than ordinary (CCA) pressure-treated
wood. Use it where other pressure-treated wood may be restricted.
And, scraps can be disposed of through regular trash collection.
ACQ Preserve is accepted by the American Wood Preserver's Association
(AWPA) and the International Conference of building Officials (ICBO).
It's easy to use. Paintable and stainable too!
Doesn't it make sense to choose a wood that features lasting durability
without depending upon hazardous compounds like arsenic and chromium?
That's just one reason why ACQ Preserve is simply the..."wood
for the great outdoors!"
