Description

Copper Oxychloride is a versatile inorganic compound widely recognized for its protective and functional properties. Its primary commercial value lies in its effectiveness as a broad-spectrum fungicide and bactericide, offering a reliable solution for crop protection and material preservation. This product is essential for manufacturers and formulators in the agricultural, wood treatment, and pigment industries seeking a stable and efficacious source of copper.

Application

• Agricultural Fungicide: A key active ingredient in formulations for controlling fungal diseases like downy mildew, blight, and leaf spot on a wide range of crops including grapes, potatoes, and citrus.
• Wood Preservative: Used in treatments to protect timber from decay, rot, and insect damage, extending the service life of outdoor structures and utility poles.
• Antifouling Agent: Incorporated into marine paints and coatings to prevent the growth of algae, barnacles, and other organisms on ship hulls and underwater structures.
• Pigment and Colorant: Serves as a source of green/blue color in ceramics, glass, pyrotechnics, and certain artistic paints.
• Catalyst and Chemical Intermediate: Employed in specific organic synthesis reactions and as a catalyst precursor in chemical manufacturing processes.
• Seed Treatment: Applied as a protective coating on seeds to prevent soil-borne fungal diseases during germination and early plant growth.
