Copper (Cupric) Nitrate Trihydrate, also known as Copper Dinitrate Trihydrate and Copper(2+) Nitrate Trihydrate, has the chemical formula Cu(NO3)2-3H2O or CuH6N2O9. It appears as a dark blue hygroscopic crystalline powder with no odor. It is soluble in Water and Alcohol at ambient conditions. When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of Nitrogen Oxides and Copper Oxides. It is often produced by treating Copper or Copper Oxide with Nitric Acid followed by evaporation and crystallization. Chemically pure or Laboratory reagents are the two terms often used to describe Lab Grade chemicals. Lab Grade chemicals do not meet any accepted quality or purity requirements such as the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, and the FCC Grade, despite their acceptable purity. In the United States of America (USA), Lab Alley is selling its high- quality Cupric Nitrate Trihydrate, Lab Grade, online at laballey.com. Due to its high purity, Copper Nitrate Trihydrate, Lab Grade is highly recommended for labs and commercial applications.
Copper (Cupric) Nitrate Trihydrate Crystal, Lab Grade is also known as Copper Dinitrate Trihydrate and Copper(2+) Nitrate Trihydrate. The CAS number is 10031-43-3 and the formula is Cu(NO3)2·3H2O. It appears as a dark blue, odorless, hygroscopic crystalline powder that dissolves in water and alcohol at ambient conditions. Heated to decomposition, it gives off toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and copper oxides. Lab Grade means the material isn’t held to a formal standard like ACS, USP or FCC, though the purity is acceptable for lab work. You can open the Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis from the Product Manuals section before you order.
You’ll find it used as a reagent, as a chemical precursor, in textile processing and in the polishing of metals. Whatever the job, you need the right grade, paperwork you can pull up fast, and a supplier who can move a hazmat material without a fuss. That’s where we come in. The SDS, TDS and COA sit on this page, so you’re not chasing emails. Sizes run from 100g up to 200lb, and we handle the hazmat shipping from start to finish. Pick the size that fits your work.

Q: What is Copper (Cupric) Nitrate Trihydrate used for?
A: It’s used as a reagent and as a chemical precursor. It also shows up in textile processing and in the polishing of metals.Q: What does Lab Grade mean, and is it suitable for reagent work?
A: Lab Grade means the material isn’t held to a formal standard such as ACS, USP or FCC, though the purity is acceptable. It suits laboratory and commercial use. If your process calls for a specific standard, confirm that before you order.Q: What sizes are available, and does it ship as hazmat?
A: You can choose 100g, 500g, 1kg, 2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg, 50lb, 25kg, 100lb or 200lb. Yes, it ships as hazmat, and the DOT line on the Safety and Shipping tab reads: Nitrate, inorganic, n.o.s. (cupric nitrate), 5.1, UN1477, PG III, marine pollutant.Q: How do I get the SDS and Certificate of Analysis?
A: The Safety Data Sheet and Technical Data Sheet are listed under Product Manuals, and the Certificate of Analysis sits right below them. If you can’t find what you need, contact us and we’ll send it.Q: How should I store it?
A: It’s hygroscopic, so keep the container closed and don’t leave it open to the air. For full storage and handling guidance, read the Safety Data Sheet in Product Manuals.Q: What does it look like, and what does it dissolve in?
A: It’s a dark blue, odorless crystalline powder. It dissolves in water and alcohol at ambient conditions.Q: Is Copper Dinitrate Trihydrate the same product?
A: Yes, it’s another name for the same chemical. You may also see it listed as Copper(2+) Nitrate Trihydrate.
