Technical Specifications & Product Parameters
Our industrial-grade tribasic copper chloride batches are rigorously analyzed to comply with international manufacturing and safety benchmarks:
- Chemical Formula: \(\text{Cu}_2\text{(OH)}_3\text{Cl}\) (frequently classified as Copper Oxychloride)
- Molecular Weight: 213.57 g/mol
- Total Active Copper (Cu) Content: Minimum 58% pure copper formulation
- Physical State: Micro-crystalline, odorless green powder
- Solubility Profile: Insoluble in water and standard organic solvents; completely soluble in acidic mediums
- Thermal Stability: Highly stable up to 300°C; releases trace chlorine compounds upon thermal decomposition above this threshold
Primary Industrial & Agricultural Applications
As a multifaceted chemical resource, Brand Chemical & Supplies distributes premium-grade Copper Chloride Hydroxide tailored for key sectors: [1]
- Advanced Animal Feed Supplement: Extensively utilized as an alternative micro-mineral trace source to replace legacy copper sulfate (CuSO₄). Because of its low water solubility, it will not decompose neighboring vitamins or organic nutrients in complex feed premixes, releasing its bioavailable copper content only inside the animal’s digestive system.
- Agricultural Fungicide & Bactericide: Widely deployed as a broad-spectrum protective contact fungicide. It effectively targets and treats foliar diseases, mildew, and fungal outbreaks across intensive vegetable fields and commercial fruit orchards.
- Specialized Industrial Additive: Functions as an active agent in advanced wood preservative formulations, specialized colorant pigments, and as a catalytic promoter in organic synthesis processing plants.
Sourcing, Logistics & Packaging Options
We support large-scale agricultural projects and industrial processing plants with highly flexible procurement configurations:
- Standard Packaging Units: Secure 25 kg multi-wall moisture-resistant sacks or heavy-duty cardboard drums.
- Bulk Industrial Supply: Massive 1-ton (1000 kg) flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) jumbo bags for high-volume facilities.
- Global Shipping Capabilities: Dispatched from our central warehousing networks with comprehensive certification records and safety documentation to clear international borders seamlessly.
Summary Safety & Handling Information
When handling fine chemical powders, maintaining optimal workplace compliance and standard operating safety is vital:
- Inhalation Risks: Avoid inhaling airborne dust. Exposure triggers immediate irritation of the upper respiratory tract, resulting in sneezing or severe coughing.
- Eye & Skin Safety: Direct exposure poses a severe hazard and can result in lasting eye irritation or chemical burns. Ensure all workers wear approved chemical safety goggles, gloves, and protective gear.
- Storage Environment: Store in tightly sealed containers within a cool, well-ventilated warehouse area away from extreme, incompatible acidic compounds.
