Emergence Of New Entrants Increasing Competition In The Chromated Copper Arsena

Posted by Ashish on November 4th, 2019

Chromated copper arsenate is a water soluble inorganic pesticide containing chromium, arsenic and copper in several compositions. Chromated copper arsenate is used to protect the wood against attack by insects, fungi, termites and marine borers. Wood preservatives such as, chromated copper arsenate can extend the life of wood significantly and aids to reduce the demand for forest resources. There are three types of chromated copper arsenate are available in the market including CCA-A, CCA-B and CCA-C. In each product type the chemical compositions of chromium, arsenic and copper differs. In the chromated copper arsenate wood treatment process the wood is subjected to vacuum pressure under a solution of chromated copper arsenate to force penetration of CCA into the wood. Chromated copper arsenate treated wood is also known as pressure treated wood. The chromated copper arsenate wood treatment is commonly used in outdoor structures like, playground equipment, decks, garden-bed borders, picnic tables and docks.

Chromated copper arsenate have applications in a range of wood products including, timber and poles, building and fencing, piling and columns, utility poles, lumber, plywood etc.

Chromated Copper Arsenate Market: Dynamics:

In the present global wood industry, the demand for treated wood is increasing at a significant rate. Growing construction, agriculture, utility industries around the globe are creating demand for natural resources such as, timber, lumber, plywood etc. in the global market. This is expected to act as a catalyzer for wood preservatives market over the forecast period. Wood preservatives can protect the wood from insects, fungi, termites and marine borers. It can also increase the lifecycle of a wood structure significantly, owing to these factors the market for chromated copper arsenate is expected to register prominent growth during the forecast period.

However, from a newly treated wood arsenic, chromium and copper can dislodge from its surface and exposure with these chemical can pose several health risks. This is expected to limit the uses of chromated copper arsenate for wood treatment in the forthcoming years. Toxicity hazard is anticipated to hamper the growth of chromated copper arsenate market over the forecast period.
