Copper is a metal widely dispersed in nature as a free metal and combined to other elements, and has a concentration of 0.030% In its pure state, copper has a shiny pale red colour, it is ductile and malleable. It is an excellent heat and electricity conductor, although traces of impurities may negatively influence these proprieties. The elevated hardness of copper makes it suitable for using in the electrical industry and in the manufacturing of alloys like bronze and brass; it is also used in the chemical industry as a catalyst and in agriculture as an insecticide and fungicide.

copper carbonate

Basic copper carbonate is a green solid completely insoluble in water, alcohol and organic solvents; it decomposes if placed in contact with diluted acids. Also known as green malachite, copper carbonate was used as a fungicide since the beginning of the nineteenth century, although it has now been replaced by other copper compounds.

copper chloride

Copper chloride has the aspect of a blue-green crystalline solid and is practically insoluble in water. Copper chloride is used as a catalyst in polymerization reactions of vinyl chloride in acrylonitrile and in the conversion reaction of mercaptans in disulphides, a process known as desulphurization. Copper chloride is widely used as a colorant and in the bluing of ferrous metals.

copper hydroxide

Copper hydroxide is a powder that varies in colour from light blue to greenish-blue; it is rather stable in the air but decomposes easily if exposed to temperatures above 100°. Copper hydroxide is easily soluble in acids and in ammonia but is insoluble in water; it is fundamental in the preparation of other copper compounds and for the production of pigments to colour paper.

copper iodide

information not available

copper oxide

Copper oxide is a yellow-red solid; it is insoluble in water but soluble in ammonia. Various forms are available on the market, such as: metallic copper, inert powders or paste. Copper oxide is fundamentally used in agriculture as a fungicide, in ceramics, glass and enamel factories.

copper sulphate

Copper sulphate is a blue crystal. If heated at a temperature of 250°, after losing crystallisation water, it becomes a white powder. Copper sulphate is soluble in water but insoluble in methanol; also known as Blue vitriol, Cypric sulphate, Vitriol of Venus and Blue copperas, it is used in agriculture and where permitted, in the preservation of fruit and vegetables.

electrolytic copper

Electrolytic copper in the form of clippings has numerous advantages: it has a simple texture; the surfaces of the anodes are frictionless; the clippings completely dissolve in acid baths; it rapidly develops sludge. Oxygen-free copper clippings quickly form a continuous film until they can be used in a new bath.

oxygen free copper

Oxygen free copper clippings have numerous advantages: they have a simple texture; the surfaces of the anodes are frictionless; the clippings completely dissolve in acid baths; they rapidly develop sludge. Oxygen-free copper clippings quickly form a continuous film until they can be used in a new bath.

phosphorized copper

Phosphorized copper in the form of clippings has numerous advantages: it has a simple texture; the surfaces of the anodes are frictionless; the clippings completely dissolve in acid baths; it rapidly develops sludge. Oxygen-free copper clippings quickly form a continuous film until they can be used in a new bath.
