Description

Copperiso-Octanoate is a copper salt of isooctanoic acid, a versatile organometallic compound with significant industrial utility. Its primary value lies in its role as an efficient catalyst and stabilizer, offering superior performance in polymerization and oxidation control processes. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, paint, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable and effective metal-based additives.

Application

• Polymerization Catalyst: Acts as a catalyst or co-catalyst in the production of various polymers and synthetic rubbers.
• Paint and Coating Drier: Used as a siccative (drying agent) to accelerate the oxidation and polymerization of oils in alkyd resins and paints.
• Wood Preservative: Serves as a key component in formulations designed to protect wood from fungal decay and insect damage.
• Antifouling Agent: Incorporated into marine paints to prevent the growth of barnacles, algae, and other organisms on ship hulls.
• Stabilizer for PVC: Functions as a heat stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds to prevent degradation during processing.
• Animal Feed Supplement: Used as a source of nutritional copper in mineral premixes for livestock.
• Fungicide and Bactericide: Employed in agricultural and industrial formulations for its biocidal properties.

Quality Control

Our Copperiso-Octanoate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, metal content, and performance characteristics. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, copper content, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
