Dark red powder; specific gravity: 6.00; melting point: 1235°C; boiling point: 1800°C; soluble in hydrochloric acid, ammonium chloride, ammonium water; insoluble in alcohol and water. It would slowly oxidized to cupric oxide in humid air, and is relatively stable and toxic in dry air.
Mainly used for the production of ship-bottom anti-fouling coating (toxic to marine organism).
Packaging:25KG/Aluminum foil inner bags with kraft paper exterior bags.
The goods should be stored in dry and ventilated warehouse, it must not be stored with oxidants, container must be sealed up to prevent from air contact; must not be transported or stored together with strong acid or strong alkali.
