YorkShield 106 PT
™
Copper Flashing
With pressure treated lumber mandated by the EPA to be arsenic-free, the lumber
industry had to develop safer, non-toxic alternative treatments like ACQ. But this
important change has called attention to the fact that the aluminum flashing typically
sold with pressure treated wood simply is not compatible with the high copper content of
the new treated woods.
The solution is YorkShield 106PT
™
copper flashing. Fact is, our flashing offers superior
performance.
More flexibility. Lighter weight. Better looks. Longer life. Competitive prices. As well
as compatibility with ACQ and all other treatments. In other words, it’s got aluminum
flashing products beat in every possible way.

Advisory:
Galvanic Corrosion
Galvanic Corrosion is an often
overlooked problem. If two metals
are in contact with each other with
an electrolyte present, then the
metal which is less noble, or more
anodic, will start to corrode.
Galvanic Scale
The Galvanic Scale shows how
metals rate. Metals that are
more electropositive, or anodic,
“less noble” and will corrode more
easily are at one end and the metals
that are more electronegative, or
cathodic, “more noble” and are
more resistant to corroding are at
the other end.
