What is Copper Hydroxide used for?
Copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2, is an inorganic compound primarily used for its fungicidal and algicidal properties. It is applied as a broad-spectrum pesticide against fungal diseases of crops, particularly downy mildew and blight. Copper hydroxide interferes with the cellular processes of the fungal pathogen, thereby inhibiting its growth and spread.
Other than this agricultural use, copper hydroxide becomes an essential raw material in the production of industrial products such as paints and coatings, wherein it is used as a coloring component with its antifungal properties. This chemical compound is also utilized in water treatment processes to kill algae and enhance the quality of water in ponds, lakes, and storage reservoirs.
Further, copper hydroxide acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of other copper compounds and finds use within a laboratory for several chemical reactions. Its effectiveness and versatility make it a very useful compound in both the agricultural and industrial sectors.
