ACQ Treated Timber

The evidence AGAINST the use of CCA Treated Timber isn’t strong, but the simple fact is that lots of people don’t trust it, won’t trust it and won’t use it because Arsenate is one of the compounds used in the Manufacture of CCA. In fact most State Governments and Local Councils have chosen to err on the side of caution and have completely disallowed the use of CCA Treated Timber in Schools, Playgrounds, and other areas where Children come into contact with the Timber.

But there is good news. There’s an alternative Timber Treatment called ACQ – Alkaline Copper Quartenary which is manufactured without using Arsenic and Chromium and offers peace of mind, when used in the construction of Sandpits, Cubby Houses & Vegie Gardens.
