The major uses of chromic acid are in wood preservation, metal finishing and plating. Secondary applications
include catalyst manufacture and as an oxidizing agent.
Chromic acid is used to produce salt-free CCA type wood preservatives. These preservatives are
combinations of chromium, copper and arsenic. The CCA offers protection from wood destroying fungi, marine borers, termites, ascomycetes, white rot, dry rot and brown rot.
