Cuprous thiocyanate

NAME:Cuprous thiocyanate
CAS NO:1111-67-7

Molecular Formula:CuSCN
Molecular Weight:121.62
CAS NO:1111-67-7
Properties:white or offwhite powder ;relative density is 2.846,Melts at approx.1084℃; sparingly soluble in water, soluble in alkali thiocyanate solutions ,Ammonia and Ether, but not in Ethanol , dilute Hydrochloric acid and Acetone; This item is flammable at above 140℃; When dry Cuprous thiocyanate meets aqueous Ammonia under cold circumstances,it forms a deep blue copper-ammonia complex (CuSCN•5NH3) which discharges Ammonia while heating.
Application:protecting underwater surfaces of ships against vegetation as an effective antifouling agent in marine paint; Formulated with Sodium Pyrithione ,Copper Pyrithione ,it is a perfect antifouling agent inhibiting vegetation of algaes and biological activity of other marine organisms. Manufacturing industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals and pesticides,And also used in freezing solutions, electroplating ,steel picking,printing, and corrosion inhibitor against acid gases.
