Copper chloride

Copper chloride (CAS 1344-67-8) is an inorganic copper salt used as a catalyst and biocidal agent.

Where is Copper chloride used?

• Chemical synthesis: reactive copper source
• Preservative in systems requiring controlled microbial suppression
• Water treatment: dosed to control algae and microbial growth in industrial cooling systems and municipal infrastructure
• Mining and metallurgy: leaching and etching agent for copper recovery
• Metal surface preparation and refining: chemical reactivity
• Textile and leather processing: mordant fixing dyes onto fiber substrates
• Agriculture: fungicide and micronutrient source in crop protection and soil amendment programs
• It provides essential trace elements while protecting plants from fungal pathogens.

Commercial specifications

• Purity 97% to 99%
• Bulk quantities in fiber drums and big bags
