  • Applications

    Copper dimethyldithiocarbamate (CAS 137-29-1) is used in agriculture as a fungicide to protect crops. In the wood protection sector, it serves as a wood preservative to resist decay and fungal attack. In coatings, paints, and inks, it is employed as an antimicrobial/biocidal additive to enhance surface protection. In plastics and polymers, it can act as a thermal stabilizer or processing aid to improve the durability and longevity of formulations. Additionally, as a dithiocarbamate ligand, it can function as a chelating agent in certain formulations and metal complexes.
