product application
1. Marine and Offshore Engineering: Core of anti-fouling coatings, used for anti-fouling bottom paint on ships. It inhibits the attachment of barnacles, algae, etc. through the slow-release of copper ions, reducing the resistance during navigation and the risk of corrosion. Combined with epoxy resin, it enhances the adhesion and corrosion resistance of the coating.
2. Optoelectronics and Electronics Industry: In the field of photovoltaic cells, as a heterojunction light-absorbing layer, it has a high theoretical conversion efficiency and is suitable for the next-generation low-cost solar devices. In the field of electronic devices, it is used in rectifiers, sensors, PCB plating, providing a stable source of copper ions, reducing resistance and signal attenuation.
3. Glass and ceramic industry: Red glass, ceramic red pigment, the color can be adjusted from bright red to dark red. It is resistant to high temperatures and has good stability.
