Another formulation is Preserve® ACQ which received the US EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Award® in 2002 for its revolutionary and environmentally-preferred wood preservative treatment.

Preserve® Plus combines CA-C or ACQ® with built-in water repellent protection that is pressure-treated deep into the heart of the wood.
