Description

Copper Dihexanoate is a coordination compound where copper ions are chelated by hexanoate (caproate) ligands. This compound serves as a versatile and effective source of bioavailable copper, essential for numerous catalytic and biochemical processes. It is primarily utilized in the agricultural, polymer, and specialty chemical industries as a nutrient, catalyst, or functional additive. Our high-purity Copper Dihexanoate CAS NO 13476-79-4 ensures consistent performance and reliability for your critical formulations.

Application

• Agricultural Micronutrient: Used in liquid fertilizers and foliar sprays as a highly soluble and bioavailable source of copper to correct deficiencies in crops.
• Polymer Additive: Functions as a catalyst or stabilizer in the production of polyurethane foams, polyesters, and other polymers.
• Wood Preservative: Acts as a key component in formulations designed to protect timber from fungal decay and insect damage.
• Animal Feed Supplement: Incorporated into premixes to provide essential dietary copper for livestock and poultry health.
• Catalyst Precursor: Serves as a starting material or catalyst in various organic synthesis and oxidation reactions.
• Antifouling Agent: Used in marine paints and coatings to inhibit the growth of algae and barnacles on ship hulls.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of other copper-based compounds and functional materials.
