Cupric Tartrate

Product Overview

Cupric Tartrate, also known scientifically as Copper(II) Tartrate, is a specialized chemical compound widely recognized for its stability and effectiveness in various industrial processes. Identified by CAS number 17263-56-8, this substance typically presents as a green to blue crystalline powder. It is a coordination complex where copper ions are bound with tartaric acid ligands, often existing in a trihydrate form with a molecular weight of approximately 265.5 g/mol. Our manufacturing process ensures consistent quality, making it a reliable choice for demanding chemical applications.

The compound is characterized by its odorless nature and specific solubility profile. While it is only slightly soluble in water, it demonstrates excellent solubility in acidic and basic solutions. This property is particularly advantageous in electroplating formulations where controlled ion release is critical for uniform coating deposition. We maintain strict quality control standards to ensure that each batch meets the rigorous specifications required for both reagent and pharmaceutical grade applications.

Technical Specifications

Quality assurance is paramount in our production facility. We offer Cupric Tartrate in multiple grades to suit diverse industry needs, ranging from standard chemical purity to high-grade pharmaceutical specifications. The following table outlines the key technical parameters for our Reagent Grade and Pharmaceutical Grade products:

Industrial Applications

The primary application of Cupric Tartrate lies in the surface treatment industry, specifically within copper plating baths. In electroplating processes, it serves as a crucial source of copper ions, facilitating the formation of durable and conductive metallic layers on various substrates. The tartrate ligand helps stabilize the copper ions in solution, preventing premature precipitation and ensuring a smooth, even plating finish. This is essential for electronics manufacturing, decorative coating, and corrosion protection applications.

Beyond plating, this chemical serves as a valuable reagent in analytical chemistry laboratories. Its high purity levels make it suitable for quantitative analysis and calibration standards. The low iron content in our reagent grade product minimizes interference in sensitive chemical reactions, ensuring accurate experimental results. Additionally, the availability of pharmaceutical grade specifications opens possibilities for specialized synthesis routes where high purity metal organic compounds are required.

Storage and Handling

Proper storage is essential to maintain the integrity of Cupric Tartrate. The product should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated, and cool warehouse environment. It is crucial to protect the material from dampness, as excessive moisture can affect the hydration state and flow properties of the powder. Fire safety precautions should be observed, although the compound itself is not highly flammable. Personnel handling the material should use appropriate protective equipment to avoid inhalation of dust or contact with skin and eyes.

We package our Cupric Tartrate in 25kg cardboard drums lined with double-layer plastic bags to ensure moisture protection during transit. This packaging solution is designed to withstand global shipping conditions while maintaining product safety. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying the batch-specific quality parameters. As a global manufacturer, we are committed to providing bulk pricing options and reliable supply chains for international clients seeking high-performance specialty chemicals.
