Field Test Results with Copper Carboxylates

摘要

This paper details our ongoing experience with field testing of copper naphthenate and other copper carboxylate preservative systems. Results from field stake tests at an AWPA Zone 4 test site are presented. In general, copper carboxylates made with 'synthetics' yielded results equivalent to or only slightly lower than systems with straight naphthenic acids or naphthenic acids amended with synthetic neo-acid bottoms.
