Copper acetate monohydrate
Description
Copper acetate monohydrate (CAS 6046-93-1) is a copper salt supplied as a crystalline solid used across agricultural, pharmaceutical, and industrial manufacturing sectors. It functions primarily as a catalyst precursor, biocide, and reagent in synthesis processes.
This material is highly valued where a soluble, reactive copper source is required for chemical reactions. In agriculture, it acts as a fungicide and algaecide active in crop protection formulations and aquatic treatment products.
Pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturers use it as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis. This includes critical coupling reactions and oxidation processes necessary for high-purity chemical production.
In personal care, it contributes to preservative systems and copper-peptide formulations targeting scalp and skin applications. Industrial users also employ it as a pigment precursor and pH-buffering agent in specialty coatings.
The product is also utilized in textile processing to ensure consistent results during manufacturing. Copper acetate monohydrate is available as a dark green to blue-green crystalline powder or small crystals for easy handling.
It is supplied in technical and reagent grades, with purity levels typically ranging from 98% to 99.5%+. Our quality control ensures the material meets rigorous industrial and laboratory specifications for consistency.
Packaging options commonly include multi-kilogram bags and fiber drums suited to bulk procurement requirements. These containers are designed to maintain product stability and integrity during long-term storage and transport.
