Time Tested

Copper Naphthenate has been used as a wood preservative for over one hundred years with many applications for use, including field boxes, benches, flats, fence posts, water tanks, canvas, burlap, ropes, nets, greenhouses, utility poles, crossarms, and wooden structures in ground contact and above ground contact.

Reveals Natural Wood Grain

The bright green color of wood freshly treated with copper naphthenate will become brown in outdoor exposure. Multiple studies demonstrate no excessive corrosion of hardware and fasteners due to contact with the preservative.

Broad Use and Safer Handling

Copper Naphthenate provides protection against wood decay and the superior water repellent qualities of an oil borne wood preservative. Copper Naphthenate treatments result in wood that is cleaner to the touch, with minimal excess preservative coming in contact with the environment. Copper Naphthenate is the green choice in preservatives because it is not a restricted use pesticide. With durability equal to or better than other preservatives, it is a great choice for bridge timbers, barn timbers, glulam beams, salt storage domes, protector boards and highway railings. For many applications copper naphthenate is the best wood preservative available to contractors and builders. Use copper naphthenate when wood will be in contact with the ground and as an end cut treatment when applied to cut pressure treated wood.
