Copper Chloride Hydroxide(Cu:58% min)  Chemical appearance:

Copper Chloride Hydroxide(Cu:58% min) Choride hydroxide comes in green orthorhombic crystals or a green to bluish powder. The color may vary to dark green to blackish. This compound is insoluble in water and insoluble in organic substances.

Chemical application and strengths:

• • Copper chloride hydroxide (Cu: 58% min.) remains highly stable in neutral media at average room temperatures. However, it reacts strongly with alkaline media, where it decomposes and releases heat. Agricultural producers primarily use the compound as a fungicidal spray for crops such as grapes, tea, coffee, cotton, and cardamom. Rubber growers also spray it on foliage to control leaf diseases.
  • Manufacturers use copper chloride as a colourant and pigment in ceramic and glass production. Artists and manufacturers also use it to add colour to wall paintings. Historically, various civilizations used copper-based compounds for manuscript illumination and paint colouring. Its deep green and blue colours also make it useful in pyrotechnic colour effects. Manufacturers can additionally use it to decolourise dyes such as Indigo Carmine and Amido Black.
  • Chemical manufacturers use copper chloride to prepare catalysts and also use it as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in oxidation and chlorination reactions. For example, it catalyses the chlorination of ethylene and participates as a partial catalyst in the oxidation of n-butane to produce maleic anhydride.
  • Animal-feed and aquaculture producers use copper as an essential trace element in animal and fish feeds. Copper chloride hydroxide provides a source of copper without readily reacting with or oxidising other feed ingredients, including vitamins and other volatile components.
