Copper EDTA is a chelated micronutrient used in agriculture to supply copper to plants in a stable, easily absorbable form. It is commonly included in fertilizers and foliar sprays to prevent copper deficiencies, supporting proper plant metabolism and enzyme function.

Industrial Uses

1. Agrochemicals

  • Micronutrient Fertilizer for Crops : Used as a foliar spray or soil application to correct copper deficiencies in crops like wheat, maize, vegetables, and fruit trees. It helps with chlorophyll production, enzyme activation, and overall plant metabolism.
  • Hydroponics and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) : Copper EDTA is essential in nutrient solutions for hydroponics as it remains stable and available in various pH conditions, preventing copper precipitation.
  • Improves Resistance to Diseases : Copper helps strengthen plant cell walls and promotes the development of disease-resistant crops, especially against fungal and bacterial infections.

2. Animal Healthcare

  • Trace Mineral Supplement : Added to feed premixes for poultry, cattle, sheep, and fish as a bioavailable copper source. It supports enzyme function, red blood cell production, and immune health.
  • Growth and Productivity Enhancer : Promotes weight gain and reproductive efficiency in livestock due to its role in iron metabolism and connective tissue development.

3. Water Treatment

  • Algaecide and Biocide in Cooling Towers : Copper EDTA is used to control algae growth and bacterial contamination in industrial water systems, especially in recirculating cooling water.
  • Chelating Agent in Metal Surface Treatment : Acts as a chelating agent in cleaning formulations for removing metal scale or corrosion from machinery without damaging the metal itself.

4. Personal Care

  • Antimicrobial and Stabilizer: Added in small amounts to cosmetic formulations for its antimicrobial properties, especially in acne products or anti-dandruff formulations.
  • Trace Mineral in Skin Care : Used in skin-care products aimed at restoring skin tone, elasticity, and tissue regeneration, as copper plays a role in collagen synthesis.

5. Fabric Solutions

  • Metal Ion Control During Dyeing : Used in the dyeing process to bind excess metal ions and maintain dye color stability, especially when using synthetic or reactive dyes.
  • Antibacterial Textile Treatments : Copper EDTA is sometimes used in textile finishing to impart antibacterial properties to fabrics, especially in medical or athletic wear.
