Product Information
Metal Fasteners in Use With Preserve®
Treated Wood |
- ACQ® is clearly the market leader for pressure applied waterborne
non-arsenical wood preservatives in the U.S. and around the world
- Wood treated with ACQ has performed well in severe exposure environments
around the world for over ten years
- Commercial experience with Preserve treated wood demonstrates excellent
performance with recommended fasteners in service applications over many
years
- The primary fastener systems recommended for use with Preserve treated
wood are hot-dipped galvanized and stainless steel
- These are the same fastener systems recommended for CCA and ACZA treated
wood by the industry
- These fasteners are also specified in major building codes for use with
treated wood
- G60 Electroplated fasteners are not recommended for CCA,
ACZA or ACQ treated wood
- Direct contact with aluminum is not recommended for CCA,
ACZA or ACQ treated wood
- Results from standard accelerated corrosion tests for ACQ treated wood
are similar to CCA, ACZA, CBA and treated wood with electroplated and hot-dip
galvanized metals
- Recognizing that there are many advanced technology coating systems for
fasteners available, in the market place, CSI has an on-going program to
evaluate these systems for their suitability for use with Preserve treated
wood
