Description

Copper Divalerate CAS NO 15432-57-2 is a coordination compound where copper ions are chelated by divalerate (pentanedioate) ligands. This compound serves as a valuable source of bioavailable copper, essential for numerous enzymatic and physiological processes. It is primarily utilized in the animal nutrition, agricultural, and specialty chemical sectors where a stable, soluble copper supplement is required.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: Used as a trace mineral supplement in premixes to prevent copper deficiency and support metabolic functions in livestock and poultry.
• Agricultural Micronutrient: Incorporated into fertilizers and foliar sprays to correct copper deficiencies in crops, improving yield and plant health.
• Catalyst Precursor: Serves as a starting material or catalyst in specific organic synthesis and polymerization reactions within the chemical industry.
• Wood Preservative Formulation: Acts as a component in preservative systems to protect wood from fungal decay and insect damage.
• Nutritional Supplements: Employed in the formulation of mineral supplements for various animal species.
• Laboratory Research: Used as a standard or reagent in chemical and biochemical research studies.
