Cupric Chloride Dihydrate (CuCl₂·2H₂O)
Cupric Chloride Dihydrate, also known as Copper(II) Chloride Dihydrate, is an inorganic compound supplied as blue-green crystalline solid. It is highly soluble in water and commonly used as a laboratory reagent, chemical intermediate, and industrial catalyst. Produced through controlled reaction of copper compounds with hydrochloric acid, it provides a reliable source of copper(II) ions for various chemical processes. Cupric Chloride Dihydrate is widely used in textile dyeing and printing, as an oxidation catalyst, in pigment manufacturing, and in synthesis of other copper-based chemicals. It also serves roles in wastewater treatment, analytical chemistry, and specialized industrial applications. Its strong reactivity and solubility make it a versatile material across multiple industries.
