CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Cupric acetate appears as a blue-green crystalline solid. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. It is used as an insecticide, in the preparation of other chemicals, as a fungicide, and mildew preventive. |
