Description

Copper Sulfate Basic CAS NO 1344-73-6 is a versatile inorganic compound, a basic form of copper sulfate with significant industrial utility. It serves as a crucial source of bioavailable copper, essential for numerous chemical and agricultural processes. This product is indispensable for manufacturers in the agrochemical, pigment, wood preservation, and animal feed supplement industries, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Agricultural Fungicide & Bactericide: A key active ingredient in Bordeaux and Burgundy mixtures for protecting crops like grapes, potatoes, and citrus from fungal and bacterial diseases.
• Animal Nutrition: Used as a copper source in mineral premixes and feed supplements for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to prevent deficiency and promote growth.
• Wood Preservative: Employed in formulations to protect timber from decay, rot, and insect damage, extending the life of utility poles, fencing, and construction lumber.
• Pigment & Dye Intermediate: Acts as a raw material in the production of various copper-based pigments, such as Scheele's green, and in dyeing processes for textiles and leather.
• Water Treatment & Algaecide: Effective in controlling algae and mollusks in industrial water systems, ponds, and reservoirs.
• Electroplating & Metal Surface Treatment: Used in baths for copper electroplating and as an etching agent in the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing process.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a catalyst or copper precursor in organic synthesis and the production of other copper compounds.
• Mining & Mineral Processing: Utilized as a flotation agent in the concentration of lead, zinc, and cobalt ores.
