Product Introduction

Alkaline copper chloride, molecular formula Cu2(OH)3Cl, molecular weight 213.56, color green crystal or dark green crystalline powder, insoluble in water, soluble in dilute acid and ammonia. It is insoluble in water, soluble in dilute acid and ammonia. It reacts with alkali to produce blue flocculent precipitate, which is copper hydroxide, and decomposes in boiling water to produce black copper oxide.

It is very stable in air. Water absorption is very low, not easy to agglomerate, the surface of solid particles of basic copper chloride is neutral, not easy to react with other substances.

Uses

Used as pesticide intermediates, pharmaceutical intermediates, wood preservatives, feed additives and so on.

Alkaline copper chloride is used for feed copper source trace minerals, its copper content up to 58%. This alkali salt is insoluble in water but dissolves quickly in the intestines of animals. Compared to other copper sources, CuCl2 is highly utilized and dissolves quickly in the digestive tract. It is stable and has low hygroscopicity and does not accelerate the oxidation of vitamins and antibiotics. Basic copper chloride is more biologically effective and biologically bioavailable than copper sulfate. And the use of copper is 25% to 30% less than copper sulfate, which can completely replace copper sulfate. Not only reduce the cost of feed, but also can greatly reduce the pollution of copper excretion to the environment, alkaline copper chloride is a good source of copper for animals.

Alkaline copper as a copper source feed additives used in hogs, poultry, dairy cattle, beef cattle, horses, aquatic animals and pets in the field of breeding, with insoluble in water, easy to absorb the characteristics of the digestive tract of animals. Alkaline copper is highly stable and does not easily react chemically with other sensitive substances in premixes or feeds, thus avoiding wastage. It is its excellent bioavailability that makes copper alkali products the ideal copper source feed additives.
