Cupric Chloride Anhydrous

Product Overview

Cupric Chloride Anhydrous, also known chemically as Copper(II) Chloride, is a vital inorganic compound widely utilized across various industrial sectors. Identified by CAS number 7447-39-4, this substance presents as a brownish yellow crystalline powder with significant hygroscopic properties. Our manufacturing process ensures that the anhydrous form maintains exceptional stability and reactivity, making it a preferred choice for complex chemical syntheses and material science applications. Unlike its dihydrate counterpart, the anhydrous variant offers superior performance in moisture-sensitive reactions, providing manufacturers with greater control over stoichiometry and reaction outcomes.

The compound is highly soluble in water, forming a weakly acidic aqueous solution. This characteristic is leveraged in numerous processes where pH control and copper ion availability are critical. With a melting point of 620℃ and a boiling point of 993℃, it demonstrates robust thermal stability suitable for high-temperature industrial operations. Our facility adheres to strict quality management systems to guarantee consistency across every batch, ensuring that clients receive a product that meets rigorous international standards for purity and performance.

• Acts as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis and polymerization.
• Utilized as a mordant to fix dyes on natural and synthetic fibers.
• Employed in the manufacturing of pigments for glass and ceramic glazes.
• Serves as a raw material for producing other copper-based compounds.
• Applied in water treatment processes and etching solutions.

Storage and Handling

Due to its hygroscopic nature, proper storage is essential to maintain the integrity of Cupric Chloride Anhydrous. The product must be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse environment. Containers should be sealed tightly immediately after use to prevent moisture absorption, which could alter the chemical composition and efficacy. Personnel handling this material should wear appropriate protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection, to avoid irritation. We package our product in 25kg woven bags lined with double-layer plastic bags to ensure protection during transit and storage. Global shipping is available, and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to verify compliance with specified standards.
