Is Ebonol non-conductive?
Does Ebonol make copper electrically non-conductive? If it does where can I get it?

Anita,
Are you are referring to Ebonol C, a copper oxide formulation made by Enthone-OMI? Copper oxide is non conductive, but it would depend on the application and the end use to determine how long the treated surface would remain non-conductive. Check with the experts. I have also heard of Ebonol on string instruments, which I think is entirely different.

Try www.ethone.com website.Probably Ebonol C coating is sulfide based-in that case it is (probably) just somewhat less conductive than pure metal. Hope it helps and good luck!

Dear Anita,
The ebonol c is a product based on very strong oxidizers between highly alkaline itself is non conductive
