Product Overview
This Puratronic™ grade Copper(II) Oxide (CuO) delivers exceptional purity at 99.995% (metals basis), making it a critical reagent for demanding laboratory applications. The ultra-high purity minimizes trace metal impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions or analytical measurements. Its consistent particle size distribution ensures reliable performance in catalytic processes, while the black powder form allows for easy handling and precise dosing. The material’s thermal stability and chemical resistance make it suitable for high-temperature applications without decomposition. Whether used as a precursor in advanced materials synthesis or as a reference standard in analytical chemistry, this Copper(II) Oxide maintains batch-to-batch consistency. The Puratronic™ certification guarantees rigorous quality control, with each lot tested for heavy metal contaminants and particle morphology. Its low moisture content (<0.05%) prevents clumping during storage, while the inert packaging preserves purity until use. The product's versatility extends to both organic and inorganic synthesis pathways, with documented compatibility across various solvent systems.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard grade copper oxide?
Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.995% purity with controlled trace metal impurities below 50ppm, unlike standard grades which typically contain 97-99% purity with higher impurity levels.
2. Can this copper oxide be used in electrochemical applications?
Yes, the high purity and controlled particle characteristics make it suitable for electrode fabrication and electrochemical catalysis, though specific performance depends on your fabrication protocol.
3. What is the typical shelf life when stored properly?
When kept in the original sealed container at room temperature away from moisture, the product maintains its specified purity for at least 36 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Is this product compatible with halogenated solvents?
The copper oxide shows stability in most common organic solvents including chlorinated hydrocarbons, but we recommend testing with your specific solvent system as trace reactions may occur at elevated temperatures.
5. How does the particle size distribution compare to other suppliers?
Our Puratronic™ grade features a tightly controlled 1-5 micron particle size range with D50 of 2.5 microns, which is finer than most industrial grades but coarser than nanopowder alternatives, offering balanced reactivity and handling properties.
