Cupric Oxide CAS# 1317-38-0

Copper(II) oxide is widely used as a blue-green pigment in ceramics. As a naturally occurring compound obtained from mining, it also serves as a precursor for various copper-based applications, including fungicides and wood preservatives. In this role, it is employed as an antifouling agent for boat hulls and for protecting wood in outdoor, freshwater, and marine constructions.

Although sometimes used in animal feed, its copper bioavailability is lower than that of compounds like cupric acetate and alkaline copper carbonate. Additional applications include superconductor preparation, battery manufacturing, and serving as a catalyst in various industrial processes.

Product Application of Cupric Oxide CAS# 1317-38-0

Copper(II) oxide is primarily used as a blue-green pigment in ceramics. Being a naturally occurring compound obtained from mining, it also serves as a precursor for other copper-based applications, including fungicides and wood preservatives. In this capacity, it is applied as an antifouling agent for boat hulls and for the protection of outdoor, freshwater, and seawater wood structures.

Although occasionally used in animal feed, its copper bioavailability is lower compared to other compounds such as cupric acetate and alkaline copper carbonate. Additional applications include superconductor production, battery manufacturing, and use as a catalyst in various industrial processes.
