What is cuprous oxide?
Cuprous oxide is a bright red powdery solid with a molecular formula of Cu2O, almost insoluble in water. It disproportionates into bivalent copper and copper in an acidic solution and gradually oxidizes into black copper oxide in wet air. Cuprous oxide is an oxide of univalent copper, a bright red powdery solid that is almost insoluble in water and disproportionates into bivalent copper and copper in an acidic solution; it is gradually oxidized into black copper oxide in wet air. Cuprous oxide is mainly used to manufacture antifouling paint on the bottom of ships (used to kill low-level marine animals), pesticides, various copper salts, analytical reagents, red glass, and the preparation of copper plating and copper alloy solution.

Cuprous oxide is the oxide of univalent copper, a bright red powder solid, almost insoluble in water, disproportionated into bivalent copper and copper in an acid solution, and gradually oxidized into black copper oxide in wet air. Cuprous oxide is mainly used to make antifouling paint at the bottom of ships (used to kill low-level marine animals), pesticides, various copper salts, analytical reagents, red glass, and also used to prepare copper plating and copper alloy solution. Cuprous oxide is also known as red copper oxide; Cuprous oxide is the oxide of monovalent copper. Next, let's understand the chemical formula of cuprous oxide and its color of cuprous oxide.
 
Uses of cuprous oxide
According to the amount of cuprous oxide added, the glass is colored blue or green. At this time, it is better to add saltpeter to the batch. The mixture of copper and tin oxide can make the sloping glass look beautiful blue. To get green, copper and iron or chromium compounds can be used simultaneously. Iron oxide must be added to the batch to obtain the emerald color. Adding 2~3% B203 and saltpeter in the batch can enhance the luster of the sloping glass.
 
Price of cuprous oxide
Cuprous oxide particle size and purity will affect the product's price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of cuprous oxide. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The price of cuprous oxide can be found on our company's official website.
