Primary Applications & Industrial Uses
Agricultural Crop Protection Copper Chloride Hydroxide serves as a broad-spectrum fungicide and bactericide for protecting crops against various plant diseases. It effectively controls bacterial blight, downy mildew, late blight, and other fungal infections in fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamental plants, providing both preventive and curative action.
Wood Preservation & Treatment In wood preservation applications, copper chloride hydroxide provides long-term protection against wood-destroying fungi, bacteria, and insects. The compound penetrates deep into wood fibers, creating a protective barrier that extends the service life of lumber, utility poles, and structural timber components.
Paint & Coating Additives Our copper chloride hydroxide functions as an effective antimicrobial additive in marine paints, antifouling coatings, and industrial protective finishes. It prevents microbial growth, algae formation, and biofouling on surfaces exposed to moisture and marine environments.
Industrial Preservation Systems In industrial applications, copper chloride hydroxide serves as a preservation agent for cooling tower water treatment, textile processing, leather treatment, and paper manufacturing. It provides effective microbial control while maintaining compatibility with various industrial processes.
Agricultural Application Guidelines
Crop Protection Programs Copper chloride hydroxide applications vary by crop type, disease pressure, and environmental conditions. Typical application rates range from 0.5-3.0 kg/ha depending on the target pathogen and crop growth stage. The compound provides both protectant and eradicant activity against fungal and bacterial diseases.
Application methods include:
- Foliar spray applications for disease prevention
- Soil treatments for root disease control
- Seed treatment for early-season protection
- Post-harvest treatments for storage disease control
- Greenhouse applications for controlled environment crops

Quality Assurance & Testing Procedures
Comprehensive Quality Control Every batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure compliance with agricultural and industrial specifications. Our quality control laboratory performs multiple analytical procedures to verify copper content, purity, particle size distribution, and biological efficacy.
Quality testing procedures include:
- Copper content determination via atomic absorption spectroscopy
- Purity analysis through X-ray diffraction methods
- Particle size distribution measurement (laser diffraction)
- Moisture content analysis (loss on drying method)
- pH measurement and suspension stability testing
- Biological efficacy testing against target pathogens
