Description

Copper (II) Sulfate Tribasic is a specialized inorganic compound, distinct from the more common pentahydrate form, characterized by its high copper content and basic nature. This product matters for industrial processes requiring a concentrated and efficient source of copper ions without the associated water of hydration. It is essential for manufacturers and formulators in sectors such as agriculture, where it serves as a key ingredient in fungicides and algicides, and in chemical synthesis for producing other copper-based compounds.

Application

• Agricultural Fungicide & Algicide: A primary active ingredient in formulations designed to control fungal diseases on crops and algae in water systems.
• Wood Preservative: Used in treatments to protect lumber from fungal decay and insect damage, extending the lifespan of wood products.
• Animal Feed Supplement: Serves as a nutritional source of copper, an essential trace element, in mineral premises for livestock.
• Pigment & Dye Intermediate: Employed in the production of various copper-based pigments for ceramics, paints, and glass.
• Electroplating & Surface Treatment: Acts as a source of copper in electroplating baths and surface finishing processes for metals.
• Catalyst Precursor: Utilized in organic synthesis and industrial chemical processes as a starting material for copper catalysts.
• Water Treatment: Applied for algae control and as a molluscicide in irrigation canals and other managed water bodies.
