Description

Copper Dilactate is a coordination compound of copper with lactic acid, offering a bioavailable and stable source of copper ions. This compound is valued for its role as a functional additive in nutrition and as a catalyst or precursor in specialized chemical syntheses. It serves the needs of manufacturers in the animal feed, food fortification, and fine chemical industries, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount. Copper Dilactate CAS NO 16039-52-4 is a key ingredient for formulators seeking effective trace mineral supplementation and controlled chemical reactivity.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: Used as a nutritional copper source in premixes for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture to support metabolic functions and overall health.
• Food Fortification: Incorporated into dietary supplements and functional foods to address copper deficiency and support enzymatic processes.
• Catalyst Precursor: Serves as a starting material or catalyst in organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
• Agricultural Formulations: Used in certain micronutrient fertilizers and plant growth supplements.
• Laboratory Reagent: Employed in research and analytical chemistry as a standard or reagent.
• Technical & Industrial Processes: Functions in electroplating baths, wood preservation, and as a component in specialty coatings.

Quality Control

Our Copper Dilactate is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content. We can supply material compliant with Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and feed-grade standards, supported by comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
