Lifewood® 60 (CCA 60%)

Properly treated and processed, Lifewood® 60 CCA treated wood products last for decades, even in harsh outdoor exposures.

CCA pressure treated wood is timber (sawn or round) or plywood that has been impregnated under high pressure with a preservative that helps protect the wood from termites and fungal decay.

CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate) preservative is a waterborne preservative system, developed to provide long-term protection to wood exposed in exterior applications and is applied to wood by pressure treatment. The CCA preservative is an effective fungicide and termiticide providing protection from a broad spectrum of decay fungi, termites, and wood boring insects. CCA is one of the most effective wood preservatives available.
