1. A method for producing copper carboxylate, the method comprising:
combining a hydrocarbon solvent and a copper compound to form an intermediate mixture, wherein the hydrocarbon solvent comprises a flash point in a range of 58 degrees Celsius to 140 degrees Celsius;
heating a carboxylic acid having at least 8 carbon atoms to a temperature of at least 30 degrees Celsius to form a heated carboxylic acid; and
combining the intermediate mixture and the heated carboxylic acid to form a reaction product comprising
copper carboxylate, wherein an elemental copper concentration is in a range of 2 percent to 12 percent based on a total weight of the reaction product; and
at least 20 percent by weight hydrocarbon solvent based on the total weight of the reaction product.
