Description

Copper naphthenate is a cross-linking agent that contains copper and nitrogen atoms. It reacts with potassium dichromate, sodium carbonate, and other substances to form a copper complex. Copper naphthenate is used in the manufacture of biodiesel as a preservative. The product also has insecticidal properties, which have been shown to be due to its ability to inhibit the activity of chitin synthase enzymes found in insects. Copper naphthenate has been shown to be effective as a contraceptive when used vaginally and may also be used topically on the skin for this purpose. This product is acidic and should not be mixed with other acidic substances or materials such as plastics or rubber.
