Description

Copper(II) Oleate is a metal-organic compound formed by the reaction of oleic acid with copper(II) ions. This product serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its copper content and hydrophobic organic ligand. It is primarily utilized in industrial applications such as the formulation of specialized lubricants and greases, as a catalyst or catalyst precursor, and in the creation of hydrophobic coatings and wood preservatives.

Application

• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Acts as a friction modifier and anti-wear agent in high-performance lubricating greases and metalworking fluids.
• Catalyst & Catalyst Precursor: Used in organic synthesis reactions, including polymerization and cross-coupling, or as a precursor for generating copper nanoparticles and catalysts.
• Wood Preservative & Fungicide: Imparts fungicidal and water-repellent properties to wood and other porous materials for preservation.
• Hydrophobic Coating Agent: Functions as a key component in formulations for creating water-resistant coatings on textiles, paper, or leather.
• Pigment & Colorant Intermediate: Employed in the production of certain metallic soaps and colorants for industrial paints and plastics.
• Marine Antifouling Agent: Used in coatings for ship hulls to inhibit the growth of algae and barnacles.
