Copper hydroxide is the hydroxide of copper with the chemical formula of Cu(OH)2. It is a pale greenish-blue or bluish-green solid. Some forms of copper hydroxide are sold as “stabilized” copper hydroxide, although they likely consist of a mixture of copper carbonate and hydroxide. Copper hydroxide is a weak base.
Uses
Copper hydroxide in ammonia solution, known as Schweizer’s reagent, possesses the interesting ability to dissolve cellulose. This property led to it being used in the production of rayon, a cellulose fiber.
Copper hydroxide has been combined with latex paint, making a product designed to control root growth in potted plants. Secondary and lateral roots thrive and expand, resulting in a dense and healthy root system.
It is also used widely in the aquarium industry for its ability to destroy external parasites in fish, including flukes, marine ich, brook and marine velvet, without killing the fish. Although other water-soluble copper compounds can be effective in this role, they generally result in high fish mortality.
