Usage

Description

Copper dilactate, also known as copper lactate, is a greenish-blue crystalline or granular powder derived from the reaction of copper with lactic acid. It is soluble in water and ammonium hydroxide, which makes it suitable for various applications due to its chemical properties.

Uses

Used in Agriculture:
Copper dilactate is used as a fungicide for [application reason] controlling various fungal diseases in crops. Its effectiveness as a fungicide is attributed to its ability to disrupt the cell walls and membranes of fungi, thus inhibiting their growth and preventing the spread of diseases.
Used in Copper-plating Industry:
In the copper-plating industry, copper dilactate is used as a source of copper for [application reason] electroplating processes. The greenish-blue crystals or granular powder form of copper dilactate allows for easy dissolution in water, making it an ideal choice for providing the necessary copper ions during the electroplating process.
Used in Chemical Synthesis:
Copper dilactate can also be used as a chemical intermediate or reagent in the synthesis of various organic compounds. Its solubility in water and ammonium hydroxide makes it a versatile compound for use in chemical reactions, particularly those involving the formation of copper complexes or the reduction of organic substrates.
Used in Pharmaceutical Applications:
Due to its antimicrobial properties, copper dilactate may also find applications in the pharmaceutical industry as an antimicrobial agent for [application reason] treating bacterial and fungal infections. Its ability to disrupt cell walls and membranes can be harnessed to develop new drugs or formulations targeting resistant strains of bacteria and fungi.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

Salts, basic, such as copper dilactate , are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible.

Health Hazard

SOLID: Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to skin and eyes.
