Copper Oxide


Product Overview


Key Chemical & Physical Traits

Copper Oxide (commonly called cupric oxide) is a fundamental inorganic compound with the molecular formula CuO, CAS number 1317-38-0, and molecular weight 79.55. As a leading copper oxide factory, we produce this product as a fine black powder—ideal for uniform dispersion in ceramic glazes and glass melts.

This compound exhibits exceptional thermal and chemical stability: it has a density of 6.313 g/cm³ and a high melting point of 1446℃, allowing it to withstand the extreme temperatures of ceramic firing and glass production. It is insoluble in water but dissolves in acids, ammonia water, and ammonium chloride—forming a blue solution that simplifies integration into acidic formulations. Its fine particle size (D50: 1-10μm) ensures it mixes evenly, avoiding clumps that could cause defects in end products.


Rigorous Quality Specifications

Our Copper Oxide meets strict purity and performance standards to support high-quality ceramics and glass:

• Purity: Minimum 98% (ensures consistent color and chemical reactivity)

• Cadmium (Cd): Maximum 0.0005% | Lead (Pb): Maximum 0.005% (low heavy metals for safe, compliant products)

• Iron (Fe): Maximum 0.2% (prevents unwanted discoloration in ceramics/glass)

• Sulfate (SO₄⊃2;⁻): Maximum 0.1% | Hydrotrop (water-soluble substances): Maximum 0.1% (avoids defects like bubbles or streaks)

• Particle size (D50): 1-10μm (ensures uniform dispersion in glazes and melts)


Product Benefits


Exceptional Thermal Stability

With a melting point of 1446℃, our Copper Oxide remains stable during high-temperature ceramic firing and glass melting. It won’t degrade or evaporate, ensuring consistent color and performance in end products.


Low Impurity Levels

Ultra-low Cd, Pb, and Fe content means our Copper Oxide won’t cause discoloration or safety issues. This makes it suitable for food-contact ceramics (e.g., plates, mugs) and high-quality glass products.


Uniform Dispersion

The fine particle size (D50: 1-10μm) ensures the black powder mixes evenly into glazes and glass melts. This eliminates streaks, clumps, or uneven color—critical for achieving a smooth, professional finish.


Versatile Chemical Compatibility

Its ability to dissolve in acids, ammonia, and ammonium chloride lets you integrate it into a range of formulations. Whether you’re making ceramic glazes or specialty glass, it adapts to your process needs.


Usage


Ceramic Industry

In ceramics, Copper Oxide is a key additive for glazes and bodies. It imparts rich blue-green hues to glazes, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of tiles, pottery, and decorative ceramics. Its thermal stability ensures the color remains vibrant even after high-temperature firing.


Glass Manufacturing

For glass production, it acts as a colorant and flux. It adds blue-green tones to decorative glass (e.g., stained glass, bottles) and helps lower the melting point of glass batches—reducing energy costs and production time. It also improves glass durability, making it more resistant to chemical corrosion.


FAQ


What packaging do you use for Copper Oxide?

Our standard packaging is net 25kg bags with pallets (40 bags/1000kg/pallet) for efficient storage and transport. We also offer 25kg drums for customers needing extra protection against moisture or contamination.


Can you provide proof of quality for each batch?

Yes! We provide a certificate of analysis (COA) for every batch, detailing parameters like purity, heavy metal content, and particle size. We also support third-party testing (e.g., SGS, BV) if you require additional verification.


Is your Copper Oxide suitable for food-contact ceramics?

Absolutely. Our product has ultra-low heavy metal levels (Cd≤0.0005%, Pb≤0.005%), complying with global standards for food-contact materials. It’s safe for use in ceramics like plates, bowls, and mugs.


What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Our MOQ is 1 ton, but we can accommodate smaller orders for sample testing or trial production. Contact our team to discuss your specific needs.
