Importance of Wood Treatment
ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) wood treatment is effective in protecting wood against termites and other wood-destroying organisms. The treatment process involves impregnating the wood with copper-based preservatives, which act as a barrier against decay fungi, insects, and other environmental factors that can compromise the integrity of the wood.
Termites are particularly sensitive to the copper compounds used in ACQ treatment, making the wood less attractive and more resistant to termite infestations. The copper in the treatment disrupts the ability of termites to digest cellulose, which is a key component of wood.
Here are some key points regarding ACQ wood treatment and its effectiveness against termites:
