oxide such as arsenical copper


Explanation:
Arsenical copper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arsenical copper contains up to 0.5% arsenic which, at elevated temperatures, imparts higher tensile strength and a reduced tendency to scaling. It is typically specified in boiler work, especially locomotive fireboxes.[1][2][3] It also helps prevent embrittlement of oxygen free copper by bismuth, antimony and lead by the formation of complex oxides.

Notes to answerer
Asker: You were right! My mistake! It is a wood preservative. Even though most of the text is about vine growing, thta part referred to wood preservation. Thank you!
