Description

Cupric Sulfate, Basic is a copper salt of sulfuric acid, also known as tribasic copper sulfate. This compound is a vital industrial chemical valued for its copper content and fungicidal properties, offering a more stable and less corrosive alternative to copper sulfate pentahydrate in many applications. It is essential for manufacturers and processors in the agriculture, chemical synthesis, and pigment industries seeking a reliable source of bioavailable copper.

Application

• Agricultural Fungicide: A key active ingredient in Bordeaux mixture and other copper-based fungicides for protecting fruits, vegetables, and vines from fungal and bacterial diseases.
• Animal Feed Additive: Serves as a nutritional copper supplement in animal feed to prevent deficiencies and promote healthy growth in livestock and poultry.
• Wood Preservation: Used in formulations to protect timber from decay, fungi, and insect damage, extending the lifespan of wood products.
• Pigments and Colorants: Acts as a raw material in the production of various copper-based pigments for ceramics, paints, and glass.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a catalyst or copper source in organic synthesis and the manufacturing of other copper compounds.
• Water Treatment: Used in algicide formulations for controlling algae growth in ponds, reservoirs, and industrial water systems.
