Molecular Formula: Cu(NO3)2· 3H2O
Molecular Weight: 241.6
Physical and chemical properties: Copper nitrate trihydrate is a dark blue columnar crystal. It's easy in moisture absorption. Specific Density: 2.05, Melting Point: 114.5℃. It will be degraded when heated at 170℃. It is apt to dissolve in water and ethanol. The aqueous solution is acidity. Cupric nitrate is a strong oxidizer which can cause burning or explosive if heated, rubbed or striked with combustible materials. It will produce the poisonous and stimulating nitrogen oxide gas while burning. It is stimulate to skin.
Applications and Usages: Copper nitrate trihydrate can be used as catalyst, oxidizer, activating agent for luminescent powder, photosensitive resistance materials, Water-soluble fertilizers containing micronutrients.

Industry Applications
🧪 Catalyst Manufacturing
Optimize hydrogenation and oxidation catalysts with ultra-low iron (<10ppm) grades. Our pre-dissolved liquid copper nitrate eliminates energy-intensive dissolution steps, cutting your processing costs by 15-20%.
⚡ Metal Surface Treatment
Replace hexavalent chromium in electroplating baths with our anti-caking formula. Achieve 720+ hours salt spray resistance (ASTM B117) while complying with RoHS/ELV directives.
🌱 Agricultural Micronutrients
High-solubility Cupric nitrate trihydrate (138g/100ml) prevents drip irrigation clogging. Ideal for copper-deficient crops like citrus and grapes.
💊 Pharmaceutical Intermediates
USP/EP-grade material with ≤2ppm As/Pb supports API synthesis for antiseptic medications.
🎆 Pyrotechnic Compositions
Moisture-controlled (<0.5%) crystals ensure stable combustion characteristics for explosive-grade formulations.
