Copper Naphthenate Treatment for Utility Poles

Utility Poles

QNAP has performance equal to or better than other oil-borne preservatives, requires no special equipment and the treated wood is not a hazardous waste, which allows for recycling or energy recovery.

QNAP is an 8% oil-borne copper naphthenate solution that is an EPA-registered, non-restricted/general use preservative also standardized for use by the AWPA (P36). The product is created from recycled copper and an oil refining by-product - making it green from the start.
