Wood preservative ACQ Type

AMQUAT SS 211 is new generation wood preservative which is non arsenic and non chromium.

AMQUAT SS 211 is based on ammonical copper quaternary.

Ammonical copper quaternary wood preservatives are made up of copper which is a fungicide and quaternary ammonium compound which also augments the fungicidal treatment is a wood preservative.

Quaternary ammonium cations, also known as quaternary ammonium salts, quaternary ammonium compounds or “Quats”, are salts of quaternary ammonium cations with anions.

The quaternary ammonium compounds adsorb on almost any surface resulting in the formation of a monolayer

The quaternary ammonium compounds contain a hydrobic group

Good wetting and adhesion properties.

Very effective against brown rot, white rot, blue stains, insects, molds, etc.

Penetrates deeply in wood and remain for a long time.

Environmentally advanced and friendly.
