ACQ Treated Lumber Calls for New Stainless Porta-Nails

Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) was used for decades in treated lumber. At the start of this year, however, production of CCA-treated wood for residential construction was phased out due to some environmental issues concerning the use of inorganic arsenic. It is still used in commercial applications - along with the appropriate warning labels. So now the industry is changing to some new preservative chemicals for the wide array of outdoor wood applications.

Why Porta-nails Stainless Nails Work Better

Are the new preservative chemicals as good as CCA? According to the Wood Preservative Science Council - it not only performs as well, but is widely accepted in most places around the world. Interestingly though, the use of new preservatives for pressure-treated lumber has given rise to an unexpected problem. Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ) is corrosive to screws and other fasteners - especially when used in building decks and similar projects. Fasteners must be stainless steel or hot dip galvanized. Any other product such as electroplated screws and other commonly used fasteners will not hold up and will eventually (if not sooner) result in the failure of the fastener.

Enter the New Porta-Nails Stainless Steel Nails!
The Longer Lasting Fastening Alternative.

Adding to PNI's commitment to NAIL SUPERIORITY in the floor and decking realm, this stainless steel nail's wide head and grapple barb allow the installer to apply superior holding power in any outside project where corrosion or rust is a concern. PNI's 2" Porta-Nail is available for use on this new ACQ lumber plus on composite decking, boat building, hardwood flooring in coastal areas or any applications that require a non-corrosive fastener.

The new stainless steel nail from Porta-Nails. The perfect, longer lasting fastening alternative to ACQ preserved wood.
