As far as anti-oxidants, just read the label - it'll tell you what
materials are suitable for use; i.e. aluminum, copper, aluminum AND copper,
etc. It doesn't really matter what the material of the particulates is -
they're held in suspension and NOT subject to oxidation since the vehicle
material keeps the oxygen out.
So as long as the anti-oxidant says 'copper' - you can use any of them
that you want or have. There is no appreciable difference in their
performance - they're just different recipes.
