Product Overview


Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate (chemical formula: CuSO₄·5H₂O; CAS No.: 7758-99-8) is a dark blue triclinic crystal or blue crystalline powder/granule with a slight metallic odor. It has a molecular weight of 249.68, and its 0.1mol/L aqueous solution has a pH of 4.17 at 15℃—reflecting its weakly acidic nature. It is highly soluble in water and glycerol, soluble in dilute ethanol, and insoluble in pure ethanol. It slowly weathers in dry air, so proper storage is key. Packaged in 25kg net paper/PE complex bags with double PE inners (HS Code: 28332500) and classified as UN 3077, Class 9, it is suitable for industrial, agricultural, and water treatment applications.

Product Benefits


Compliance with International Quality Standards: Our Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate meets global benchmarks, with a minimum CuSO₄·5H₂O content of 98% and Cu content of 25%. Impurities like As, Pb, Cd, and Hg are all controlled to 0.001max, ensuring safety for agricultural and water treatment use.

Tailored Grades for Diverse Needs: We offer custom grades to match specific requirements—whether you need a fine powder for agricultural sprays or larger granules for industrial water treatment. This flexibility eliminates the need for clients to modify the product themselves.

Cost-Effective Performance: Its high solubility and reactivity mean less product is needed to achieve desired results (e.g., coagulation in water treatment or fungal control in crops). This reduces per-unit costs and minimizes waste.

Efficient Logistics & Timely Delivery: Our well-established supply chain ensures fast order processing and delivery, even for bulk orders. We track shipments in real time, keeping you informed every step of the way.


Usage


Water Treatment as a Coagulant

In water treatment plants, Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate acts as a coagulant to remove organic impurities and suspended solids. It binds to tiny particles in water, forming larger flocs that settle out or are filtered, improving water clarity and reducing contaminants that support harmful bacteria. It is also used to control algae growth in ponds and reservoirs, preventing algal blooms that affect water quality.


Agriculture: Fungicide, Insecticide & Fertilizer

As an agricultural fungicide, it treats fungal diseases like blight (in potatoes) and mildew (in grapes), protecting crops from yield loss. It also acts as an insecticide to control pests like snails and slugs. When used as a fertilizer, it supplies copper—a micronutrient essential for plant photosynthesis and root development—boosting growth in copper-deficient soils.


Animal Feed Additive

In livestock farming, it is added to animal feed to provide essential copper, supporting immune function, bone health, and iron absorption in poultry, cattle, and swine. Its high purity ensures it does not introduce harmful impurities into the food chain.


Industrial Manufacturing

It is used in battery production (as a component in electrode materials), textile dyeing (to fix colors), and electroplating (to deposit copper coatings on metal surfaces). It also serves as a raw material for pigment production, creating blue hues in paints and inks.


FAQ


How should Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate be stored?

Store in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse away from fire, heat, and direct sunlight. Keep packages sealed to prevent weathering (loss of water molecules) and avoid contact with iron or galvanized metals, as it is corrosive to these materials.


Is it safe for organic farming?

Yes, when used in compliance with organic farming regulations. Its natural origin and low toxicity (when applied correctly) make it an approved input for organic crop production.


Can it be used in drinking water treatment?

Yes, but only at regulated doses approved by local health authorities. It is effective for algae control and coagulation, but overuse can affect water taste or safety—so follow dosage guidelines strictly.


What is the shelf life of your Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate?

When stored properly, it has a shelf life of 24 months. After this period, we recommend testing its purity and solubility before use.
