What is the role of cuprous oxide

Cuprous oxide is a valence copper oxide, bright red powder solid, almost insoluble in water, in acidic solution disproportionation of bivalent elemental copper and copper, in the wet air oxidation gradually into the black cupric oxide. Cuprous oxide is mainly used in the manufacture of bottom antifouling paint, pesticides used to kill the low-level Marine animals, as well as a variety of copper salt, analytical reagent, red glass, are also used in the confecting of copper and copper alloy plating.
Cuprous oxide is used for making bottom antifouling paint (kill low-level Marine animals). Used as a fungicide, ceramics and enamel of colorants, red stain glass, also used in the manufacture of all kinds of copper salt, analytical reagent, and used in the electronics industry in rectifier plating, crops of fungicides and the material of the rectifier. Cuprous oxide is often used in catalyst in organic synthesis.
Cuprous oxide should be stored in a dry, well ventilated warehouse, must not with antioxidant readjusting. Containers must be sealed to prevent contact with air into cupric oxide and reduce the use value. Not with strong acid, strong alkali and edible items during storage. When fire, but water the save.
