Copper Hydroxide

Product Overview

Copper Hydroxide, also known scientifically as Cupric Hydroxide, is a versatile inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu(OH)2. Our facility specializes in the production and supply of high-quality Copper Hydroxide, catering to diverse industrial needs ranging from agriculture to chemical synthesis. With a CAS number of 20427-59-2, this compound is recognized for its distinct blue or bluish-green gelatinous appearance, often presenting as a light blue crystalline powder in its dried form. We maintain strict quality control standards to ensure consistency across all batches, providing our global partners with reliable raw materials for their manufacturing processes.

Physical And Chemical Properties

This compound exhibits a relative density of approximately 3.368. It is notably soluble in acids, ammonia water, and alkali metal cyanides, as well as carbonates and acidic carbonate solutions. However, it remains insoluble in water, which is a critical factor for its handling and application in various formulations. Thermal stability is an important consideration; the material will turn darker when heated between 60 to 80 degrees Celsius. At higher temperatures, it decomposes into black cupric oxide and water. These properties make it suitable for specific thermal processes while requiring careful storage conditions to maintain integrity.

Industrial Applications

Copper Hydroxide serves a multitude of purposes across several key sectors. In the agricultural industry, it is widely utilized as a stable pesticide grade material for fungicides and bactericides, protecting crops from various diseases. In the chemical manufacturing sector, it acts as a vital intermediate for the production of other cupric salts and serves as an effective catalyst in organic synthesis reactions. Additionally, it finds application in the textile industry as a dye mordant and in the paper industry as a staining agent. Our product is also qualified for use in feed additives, contributing to animal nutrition when processed according to regulatory standards. Furthermore, it is employed as an analytical reagent in laboratory settings due to its high purity grades.

Technical Specifications

We offer Copper Hydroxide in various grades to meet specific industry requirements, including Chemical Pure, High-Purity, Stable Pesticide, and Technical grades. The following table outlines the key parameters for our standard offerings:

Packaging And Storage

To ensure product safety and quality during transit, our Copper Hydroxide is packaged in 25kg kraft paper bags lined with a double-layer plastic bag. Custom packaging solutions are available upon client request to accommodate specific logistical needs. Storage precautions are vital; the material must be stored in a draughty and dry warehouse. It is imperative that the packing bag is tied tightly to prevent dampness, as moisture can affect the chemical stability and physical appearance of the powder. Our logistics team ensures that all shipments comply with international safety regulations for chemical transport.
