Talk:Pentachlorophenol

Potential copyright violation
The unsourced content that the article was replaced with on April 24, 2007 has the appearance of having been cut and pasted from elsewhere. It is therefore a potential copyright violation. A brief websearch doesn't turn up anything, so I'm leaving it in for now (with some of the older deleted content added back in too). --Ed (Edgar181) 00:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Nickname
From someone who worked in the telephone industry decades ago, where they regularly use chemical treatments on wood utility poles, I heard the term "penta" being used, short —for "pentachlorophenol". Although telephone companies and other utilities tend to buy their poles from specialist suppliers, they often find a need to treat other wood components, such as cross-arms, locally. This may be done by immersing or painting with a mix of Diesel oil and "penta". — QuicksilverT @ 19:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
