1. Agrochemicals

• Fungicide: It is a common active ingredient in fungicides, used to prevent and treat fungal diseases in plants. The copper ions released by BCC are toxic to fungi, inhibiting their growth and spread.
• Algaecide: It is used in as an algaecide by forming stable complexes with other compounds, enhancing its stability and effectiveness. This process also leads to a higher copper content in the resulting solution, making it more potent against algae

2. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

• Pigment: It is a greenish-blue powder that is ground and mixed with other materials to create paints and other coatings.
• Copper Phthalocyanine Synthesis: It is a key raw material in the production of copper phthalocyanine, a pigment known for its vibrant blues and greens. The chemical reaction involves copper carbonate reacting with a phthalocyanine precursor to produce a wide range of colors.
• Stable and Durable Colors: Copper-based pigments, including those derived from copper carbonate, are known for their resistance to fading and degradation, making them ideal for long-lasting colors in applications like automotive coatings and exterior paints.

3. Cleaning & Disinfectants

• Disinfectants and Biocides: Copper and copper compounds, including copper carbonate, are known to have biocidal and  to its use in healthcare settings, where surfaces and fabrics are treated with copper alloys or infused with copper to reduce bacterial colonization.
• Antifouling Coatings: It is used in the formulation of antifouling coatings, which prevent the growth of marine organisms on surfaces like boat hulls.

4. Metal treatment

• Patination: It plays a key role in the natural and artificial formation of patina on copper and copper alloys. When copper objects are exposed to air and moisture, they react with carbon dioxide and water, forming a layer of copper carbonate, primarily in the form of basic copper carbonate.
• Anti corrosion: It is used, specifically as a corrosion inhibitor, by forming a protective layer on the metal surface that shields it from moisture and other corrosive agents. This layer helps prevent oxidation and rusting, extending the lifespan of metal components.
