Chemonite® is the registered trade name for wood protected by ACZA, or ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate, against termites and fungal decay. Learn more about Chemonite® wood advantages.
The treatment was originally developed, and remains today, as the only waterborne wood preservative which consistently meets recognized standards of penetration and retention in desirable, but otherwise difficult-to-treat species such as coastal Douglas fir.
Chemonite wood has been safely and successfully used since the 1940's in commercial and industrial applications. It is leach-resistant in water and ground.
Chemonite wood offers all of the appealing characteristics of wood along with prolonged service life. It is protected against the major causes of wood degradation: rot, decay, termites, and marine organisms, and studies indicate resistance to carpenter ants, woodpeckers, and fire.
It has protection both above ground and in ground contact, as well as in fresh and salt water, and may be stored, handled, and worked with like untreated wood.
