Raw Material for Copper Phthalocyanine Production

According to the Copper Phthalocyanine production plant project report, the various raw materials for Copper Phthalocyanine production include phthalonitrile-metallic copper.

Production Process of Copper Phthalocyanine

The extensive Copper Phthalocyanine production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

• Production from phthalonitrile and metallic copper: The production process of copper phthalocyanine (CPC) occurs from phthalonitrile and metallic copper as the starting materials. The process takes place at elevated temperatures (200 to 300 degrees Celsius) and can utilize both metallic copper and copper salts (such as copper(I) chloride). During the reaction, phthalonitrile undergoes cyclotetramerization to form the macrocyclic structure of CPC.

Properties of Copper Phthalocyanine

Copper phthalocyanine is a bright blue solid or fine powder having the molecular formula C32H16CuN8 and a molecular weight of 576.07 g/mol. It has a density of 1.6 g/cm³. It has excellent lightfastness, which makes it resistant to fading when exposed to light. It has high thermal stability, with a melting point in the range of 350 to 480 degrees Celsius. It is practically insoluble in water but soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid. The absorption maximum (λmax) is 678 nm in dimethylformamide (DMF), and it emits fluorescence at 459 nm. It is paramagnetic due to the presence of unpaired electrons, and it can exist in multiple crystalline forms, such as alpha and beta phases, which differ in their molecular arrangements and properties.
