In antifouling paints; in textile and wood preservatives; in rubber aging; as catalyst. | [Preparation]
Copper(II) stearate (octadecanoate) is prepared by the reaction of copper(II) sulfate solutions with sodium stearate. It is insoluble in water. It is used as a fungicide and algicide for wood and textiles and as an antifouling pigment in paints. It is marketed as a 10% copper solution in an organic solvent. |
