Hoover/CCA overview

CCA preservative safely and permanently protects lumber and plywood from decay and termite attack. CCA treated wood can be placed in the ground or in water because the preservative ingredients are chemically bonded to the wood cells. CCA is clean, odorless, paintable, and safe to use in and around the home (see Hoover's "Consumer Information Guide" for use and handling information). It does not exude any oils or vapors. Hoover follows up the treating process with an optional kiln drying process to gently remove the moisture added during treatment.

Kiln drying is recommended for all plywood and for lumber up to 2 inches thick. Non-KDAT (Kiln Dried After Treatment) pressure treated wood can take months to "air dry." Kiln drying after treatment reduces the moisture content to 19% or less, resulting in treated wood that is light weight, pre-shrunk, clean and strong.
CCA treated lumber can be used in and around fresh water.
