Product Overview
Cobra™ CuB 20 Paste delivers an effective solution for managing decay fungi in wood, standing out among other preservative pastes for its eco-friendly formulation. This innovative product not only offers excellent preservative protection but also meets and exceeds regulatory, safety, and environmental standards. The active ingredients are similar to those found in the popular Cobra™ Rod technology. Its borate content ensures quick penetration to combat decay fungi, while copper shields the pole’s surface from soft rot fungi. Proven to be effective on wooden power poles at and below the ground line, it provides over 10 years of decay protection. Cobra™ CuB 20 Paste is a general-use pesticide and is compatible with all wood species and treatments.

Performance and Safety
Benefits of using a combination of a copper and boron technologies for wood preservation include:
- Improved effectiveness:
Copper boron technology combines the benefits of copper and boron in a single product, resulting in a more effective system. - Longer-lasting protection:
Addition of copper increases the durability of the preservative and by reducing the overall leachability of the wood preservative system. - Improved environmental sustainability:
Copper boron technologies are more environmentally sustainable as both actives are naturally occurring elements.
Pesticide labels have signal words on them that describe the acute (short-term) toxicity of the formulate pesticide product. The signal word can be either: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. Products with the DANGER signal word are the most toxic and products while the products with the CAUTION signal word are lower in toxicity. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires a signal word to be printed on the front label, in all capital letters, to make for easy classification and clarification for the user.
The U.S. EPA determines the appropriate signal word after completion of studies by the manufacturer on the toxicity of the product. The required studies include oral exposure (eating the product), inhalation exposure (breathing in the product), dermal exposure (spreading the product on the skin), and exposures to the skin and eyes to examine for irritation. The study that shows the highest toxicity is used to determine the signal word.
Genics™ CuB 20 Paste has a CAUTION signal word.
Independent testing and third-party studies have proven Cobra™ CuB 20 Paste provides outstanding co-biocidal properties against insects, fungi, and wood decay. As exemplified by research done at Louisiana State University, Cobra™ CuB 20 Paste exceeds industry standards in achieving retentions above toxic thresholds.
Ensure the use of proper PPE as per the label, SDS sheet, State guidelines.
