Copper Sulfate Monohydrate (chemical formula: CuSO₄·H₂O; CAS No.: 10257-54-2) is a blue crystal powder with no odor and a molecular weight of 178. It has a density of 2.286g/cm³, a melting point of 110℃, and a boiling point of 330℃—properties that make it stable for high-temperature applications. Unlike anhydrous copper sulfate, it is more resistant to dehydration (losing water molecules) when exposed to air, ensuring longer shelf life. It is highly soluble in water and corrosive to plain steel, iron, and galvanized pipes—requiring compatible storage and handling materials. Packaged in 25kg net paper/PE complex bags with double PE inners and classified as UN 3077, Class 9, it is designed for industrial, agricultural, and laboratory use.
• Superior Stability for Long-Term Use: Its resistance to dehydration means it retains its properties longer than anhydrous copper sulfate, even in slightly humid environments. This stability reduces product waste and ensures consistent performance in batch processes.
• High Purity for Critical Applications: Our Copper Sulfate Monohydrate has a minimum CuSO₄·H₂O content of 99% and Cu content of 35.5%, with impurities like As, Pb, and Cd controlled to 0.0005max. This high purity is essential for laboratory work and food-grade feed applications.
• Versatile Functionality Across Sectors: It works as a fertilizer, catalyst, laboratory reagent, and electroplating agent—eliminating the need for clients to source multiple copper compounds for different operations.
• Controlled Corrosivity Management: We provide detailed handling guidelines to mitigate its corrosive effects on metals, ensuring safe storage and use without compromising product performance.
In agriculture, Copper Sulfate Monohydrate supplies copper to soils deficient in this essential micronutrient, supporting plant photosynthesis, root development, and seed production. It also acts as a fungicide to control diseases like apple scab and peach leaf curl, and an insecticide to target pests like aphids. Its stability makes it ideal for slow-release fertilizer formulations, providing long-term nutrient support to crops.
It serves as a catalyst in the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and styrene monomer—key building blocks for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes and polystyrene products. Its catalytic activity speeds up these reactions, improving production efficiency. It is also used to manufacture dyes and pigments, imparting vibrant blue and green hues to textiles and coatings.
In laboratories, it is a common reagent for chemical experiments. It is used to prepare complex ions like CuSO₄·5NH₃, which tests for the presence of ammonia in gas samples. It also helps make copper electrodes for electrochemistry experiments, thanks to its high purity and consistent electrical conductivity.
In electroplating, it deposits a thin layer of copper on metals like gold or silver jewelry, enhancing durability and appearance. In mining, it aids in copper extraction from ores—reacting with copper minerals to form soluble compounds that are easier to isolate. It is also used in ceramic glazes, adding blue tones and improving glaze adhesion to ceramic surfaces.
The main difference is water content: Monohydrate has 1 water molecule (CuSO₄·H₂O), while Pentahydrate has 5 (CuSO₄·5H₂O). Monohydrate is more stable (less likely to lose water), has a higher Cu content (35.5% vs. 25%), and is better for high-temperature applications.
It is corrosive to steel, iron, and galvanized pipes—so store and handle it in plastic, glass, or stainless steel containers. Avoid contact with metal tools or machinery unless they are corrosion-resistant.
It loses its water molecule (becomes anhydrous) at temperatures above 250℃. This property is used in industrial processes where anhydrous copper sulfate is needed, but it remains stable at typical storage and application temperatures (below 100℃).
Yes, its high purity (low impurities) makes it suitable as a copper supplement in animal feed. It supports vitamin B12 synthesis in ruminants and improves immune function in poultry and swine.
