9. Physical and chemical properties: 

9.1. General information: 

- appearance Wettable powder (WP), green-blue colour. 

- odour Odourless. 

9.2. Important health, safety and 

ecological information: 

- pH: 7,3 to 7,8 (1% water suspension, 20 o C). 

- Boiling point: No boiling point before decomposition. 

- Melting point: Decomposes on heating above 200 o C 

- Flash point: n.a. (solid) 

- Ignition point ( for solids and gases): n.a. 

-Explosive properties (upper/lower 

border): 

- Oxidation properties: n.a. 

No explosive properties. 

- Vapour pressure: n.a. (fine powder) 

- Relative density: n.a. 

- Solubility ( in water and fats): Water: < 10 μg/l Cu. 

Decomposition temperature of copper oxychloride is high, indicating a high 

energy of activation. It is, therefore considered inert under conditions of 

oxidation. 

- Partition coefficient: n-octanol/water Not viable due to the negligible solubility in water and n-octanol. 

- Other data: Self-ignition temperature: Not observed following use of many years. 

- Note: / 

10. Stability and reactivity: 

Wholly inorganic salts are not combustible or flammable. 

10.1. Stability and reactivity: The product is stable under normal conditions and in neutral media.

11. Toxicological information: 

11.1. Acute effects (acute toxicity, 

irritation and corrosivity): 

11.2. Chronic toxicity or repeated 

dose toxicity: 

This product is unlikely to spontaneous decompose. 

Acute oral LD50/Rat: > 2000 mg/kg 

Acute oral LD50/Mouse: 2235,5 mg/kg 

Dermal Irritation/Rabbit: Non irritating. 

Ocular Irritation/Rabbit: Non irritating. 

None known. 

11.3. Oversensibility: None known. 

11.4. Specific effects(CMR effects- 

carcinogenity,mutagenicity 

and toxicity for reproduction: 

12. Ecological information: 

None known. 

12.1. Ecotoxicity: Mobility-EC50/Daphnia magna Straus: 0,116 mg/l. 

Growth-EC50/Algae Scenedesmus subspicatus: 

0,62 mg/l (on surface); 10,03 (increase). 

Reproduction-EC50/Bacterium Pseudomonas putida Migula: 

0,574 mg/l (linear regression); 0,636 mg/l (interpolation). 

Acute Toxicity-LD50/Fish Brachydanio rerio Hamilton-Buchanan: 5,6 mg/l. 

Bee toxicity: Non toxic. 

12.2. Mobility: The degree of mobility of copper in the environment depends upon the pH of 

ambient soils and water. The higher the acidity, the more soluble copper salts are 

and, hence, the more mobile. 

12.3. Persistence and degradability: Long term degradation products may arise. 

At pH > 5 copper is practically immobilised. Copper mobilization increases with the 

acidity growth (strong effect already at pH < 4,5). 

12.4. Bioaccumulative potential: Bioaccumulation occurs only when copper is biologically abundant. Due to copper 

adsorption and compexity this abundance is greatly reduced depending on pH 

value and the presence of other cations. This is why copper rarely is a sign of 

toxicity. 

12.5. Results of PBT assessment: Cuprablau Z is not considered to PBT/vPvB. 

It is persistent, bioaccumulation is very low /fungicide is rarely an indicator of 

toxicity/. 

12.6. Other adverse effects: Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways.
