Cuprous Oxide

Identification:

Chemical Name: Copper(I) oxide

Synonym: Dicopper oxide; C.I. 77402; Cuprous Oxide Red

CAS NO.: 1317-39-1

Molecular formula:Cu2O

Applications:
Cuprous oxide is used to made ship bottom anti-fouling paint (to kill the lower marine plants and animals); it shows excellent effects to inhibit and kill the Myxobacteria, algae, Shelled creatures, waterweeds and other common microbes in water. It is a long acting antifouling agent not only compatible well with the marine paint but also eco- friendly.
Cuprous oxide is also used as a main raw material to produce bactericide in agrochemical industry, or used as red pigment in ceramic, enamel and glass industry.
Furthermore, it can also be used to manufacture various kinds of copper salt or analytical agents, or as a raw material of electroplating rectifier in electrical appliance industry.
