Understanding Copper Acetate Specifications: A Guide for B2B Buyers
For B2B procurement managers and R&D scientists in the chemical industry, a thorough understanding of product specifications is crucial for making informed purchasing decisions. Copper Acetate Monohydrate (CAS No. 6046-93-1) is a widely used chemical with varying grades, each suited for specific applications. As a prominent manufacturer and supplier, we aim to clarify these specifications to help you buy with confidence.
The primary specification for Copper Acetate Monohydrate is its assay, indicating the percentage of the active compound, Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O. High-purity and A.R. grades typically offer an assay of 99.0% or higher, essential for sensitive applications in pharmaceuticals and analytical chemistry. Refined and technical grades, while potentially having slightly lower assays (e.g., ≥98.0%), are often more cost-effective for industrial uses like paints or as pesticide auxiliaries where ultra-high purity is not strictly mandated.
Beyond the assay, controlling impurities is vital. Key impurities to scrutinize include sulfates (SO4)%, non-precipitate in sulfureted hydrogen, water insolubles%, lead (Pb)%, and iron (Fe)%. For instance, low sulfate content (≤0.005%) is critical for pharmaceutical applications, while minimal heavy metals are important for environmental and safety compliance across industries. Water insolubles% (≤0.005%) directly impact the clarity of solutions, which is relevant for certain coatings and reagent uses.
Understanding these specifications allows you to align your purchase with your specific application requirements. For example, if you are sourcing for a quick-drying agent in paints, a technical grade with a slightly higher tolerance for certain impurities might be perfectly suitable and more economical. Conversely, pharmaceutical synthesis demands the highest purity levels. As a leading manufacturer in China, we provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (CoA) detailing these critical parameters for each batch. We encourage you to contact us for detailed product data and to request a quote for the Copper Acetate Monohydrate that best fits your industrial needs.
