copper chloride dihydrate


Product Overview


Copper Chloride Dihydrate, also referred to as cupric chloride dihydrate, features a distinct blue-green crystalline appearance, with a density of 2.54g/cm³ and a melting point of 100°C. Its solubility profile sets it apart: it dissolves freely in water, ethanol, and acetone, is soluble in ammonia water, and slightly soluble in ether—making it easy to integrate into liquid or semi-liquid formulations.

Our product adheres to strict quality standards, with a minimum purity of 98% and a copper (Cu) content of at least 36%. Impurities are tightly controlled: arsenic (As) is limited to a maximum of 0.0005%, sulfate (SO₄) and A.I.M (Acid-Insoluble Matter) each capped at 0.02%, and iron (Fe) maintained at a minimum of 0.02%. This low-impurity composition ensures it avoids unwanted reactions in sensitive processes like electroplating or feed additive blending.


Product Benefits


High Purity for Consistent Results: With 98% minimum purity, our Copper Chloride Dihydrate guarantees reliable performance across applications—whether you’re enhancing electroplated coatings or coloring ceramics. Low arsenic and sulfate levels reduce the risk of product defects.

Easy Handling & Formulation: Its free solubility in common solvents (water, ethanol, acetone) simplifies mixing, cutting down on preparation time for electroplating baths, catalyst blends, or feed formulations.

Versatile Industrial Adaptability: It works seamlessly as an electroplating additive, glass/ceramic colorant, catalyst, photoengraving agent, and feed additive—eliminating the need for multiple specialized chemicals.

Long Shelf Life: When stored properly, the compound remains stable for up to 12 months, reducing waste and ensuring inventory flexibility for your production schedule.


Usage


Our Copper Chloride Dihydrate serves key roles in five core industries, each leveraging its unique properties:

Electroplating: As an additive, it improves the adhesion and uniformity of nickel or copper coatings on metal parts (e.g., automotive components, electronics), creating corrosion-resistant finishes that last.

Glass & Ceramics: It acts as a colorant, imparting rich blue-green hues to glassware, ceramic tiles, and decorative items—enhancing aesthetic appeal without compromising material strength.

Chemical Catalysis: In pharmaceutical and fine chemical production, it accelerates critical reactions, boosting efficiency and reducing energy costs for manufacturers.

Photoengraving: Its chemical reactivity enables precise patterning for printed circuits, signage, and industrial engravings, ensuring sharp, detailed results.

Animal Feed: As a feed additive, it provides essential copper to livestock (poultry, swine, cattle), supporting healthy metabolism and weight gain without harmful residues.


FAQ


What storage conditions are best for Copper Chloride Dihydrate?

Store the compound in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Seal the original 25kg palletized bags tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption—this preserves solubility and purity. Unopened bags have a 12-month shelf life under optimal conditions.


Is this product safe for use in animal feed?

Yes. Our Copper Chloride Dihydrate meets feed-grade standards, with arsenic levels as low as 0.0005max. It provides a safe source of dietary copper for livestock, supporting their health without posing risks to end consumers (e.g., through meat or dairy products).


Can you assist with custom application guidance?

Absolutely. Our team of chemical experts offers personalized technical support—whether you need help adjusting concentrations for electroplating baths or blending with other feed additives. We tailor advice to your specific production goals.
