Methods/Statistical Analysis: Stainless steel was dipped into copper chloride and methanol solution before heating at 300 ᴼC. The performance of anti-wax deposition was determined using a self-fabricated wax deposition test. Reduction of wax deposition was determined by weight of wax deposited onto substrate.

Application: Copper oxide coatings have shown potential for use in pipeline interiors in the petroleum industry to prevent wax deposition, which leads to pipeline blockage.
