Cuprous Chloride

Product Overview

Cuprous Chloride, systematically known as Copper (I) Chloride, is a fundamental inorganic compound that plays a pivotal role in modern industrial chemistry and organic synthesis workflows. Represented by the molecular formula CuCl and a molecular weight of 98.99, this substance typically manifests as a white crystalline powder under standard conditions. However, chemical professionals must be aware of its specific environmental sensitivities; the compound can readily oxidize into green high-copper salts when exposed to humid air and may undergo decomposition upon prolonged light exposure, resulting in a brown discoloration. Our advanced manufacturing processes are designed to mitigate these risks, ensuring high stability and consistent purity suitable for demanding chemical applications.

As a leading global manufacturer, we supply Cuprous Chloride that adheres to rigorous international quality standards. Its solubility profile is distinct, being soluble in acids and ammonia water while remaining insoluble in water and alcohols. This unique chemical behavior underscores its value as a critical reagent in specific reaction environments where water sensitivity is a factor. We prioritize delivering material that maintains integrity from production to delivery.

Technical Specifications

Quality consistency is paramount in chemical manufacturing and procurement. We offer multiple grades to suit different industrial needs, ranging from high-purity special-purpose grades to standard technical grades. The following table outlines the key parameters ensuring transparency and reliability for our partners. Each batch is tested to verify compliance with these specifications.

Industrial Applications

The utility of Cuprous Chloride spans across several key sectors due to its exceptional catalytic properties and reactivity. Our clients utilize this compound for diverse high-value applications including:

• Organic Synthesis Catalyst: Facilitating complex coupling reactions and transformation processes in fine chemical production.
• Petroleum Industry: Employed in desulfurization processes to enhance fuel quality and compliance with environmental standards.

• Agrochemical Production: Used in the manufacturing of specific pesticides and plant protection agents.
• General Chemical Reagent: Applied in laboratories and industrial settings for analytical and preparative purposes.

Storage and Handling

Proper handling is essential to maintain the integrity of Cuprous Chloride throughout its lifecycle. The product should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse away from direct light sources to prevent photodecomposition. Packaging typically involves 25kg woven bags or cardboard drums lined with black plastic bags to ensure moisture protection and light shielding. Users are advised to follow standard safety protocols when handling chemical reagents to ensure workplace safety and product longevity. Avoid contact with incompatible substances and ensure containers are tightly sealed when not in use.
