It's copper napthalate and will turn the wood green buts its basically the same stuff used for pressure treat. A good soak or slathered on until the wood can take no more is how you apply. Rustoleum also has a product called creocoat in clear and black that carries an in ground warranty. I image it is also copper based as the creosote of old is now "bad for you". CuNap is good stuff. Wear gloves and keep fresh air. It makes any wood almost as good as pressure treated. It's a MUST for ground contact. Most stains & paints do not help much in ground contact.
