Water-borne preservatives are a class of preservatives that are soluble in water and are used to protect wood products against decay and insect damage. These preservatives are commonly used in pressure-treated lumber and other wood products that will be exposed to moisture.
Some common examples of water-borne preservatives include:
Copper-based preservatives: These include Copper Chrome Arsenic (CCA), Copper Azole (CuAz), copper sulfate, copper oxide, and Ammoniacal Copper Quaternary (ACQ). Copper-based preservatives are effective against fungal decay and insect damage.
Borate preservatives: Borate preservatives, such as Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (DOT), are effective against fungal decay and some insects.
Azole-based preservatives: Azole-based preservatives, such as propiconazole and tebuconazole, are effective against fungal decay.
Water-borne preservatives are often used in combination with other preservatives, such as oil-borne preservatives or fire retardants, to provide enhanced protection against decay, insects, and other threats. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using water-borne preservatives to ensure that they are used safely and effectively.
