Product Description
Copper(II) Sulfate Pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O)
Product Overview
Copper(II) Sulfate Pentahydrate, commonly known as blue vitriol, is a bright blue, highly soluble crystalline salt. As one of the most versatile and heavily consumed inorganic copper compounds globally, it serves as a foundational material across agriculture, mining, and surface treatment industries.
At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2016, we supply massive volumes of Premium Copper(II) Sulfate to global agribusinesses, feed mills, and mining conglomerates. Whether used as a potent fungicide, an essential trace mineral for livestock, or a crucial activator in ore flotation, our product is manufactured with rigorous control over heavy metal impurities to ensure absolute biological and environmental safety.
Technical Specifications (COA)
For agricultural, feed, and mining applications, controlling toxic heavy metals is strictly mandated. Typical specifications:
| Purity (CuSO4·5H2O) | ≥ 98.0% |
|---|---|
| Copper (Cu) Content | ≥ 25.0% |
| Lead (Pb) | ≤ 10 ppm |
| Arsenic (As) | ≤ 5 ppm |
| Water Insoluble Matter | ≤ 0.2% |
Key Applications
- Agriculture (Fungicides): The active ingredient in the famous "Bordeaux Mixture" used extensively to control fungus on grapes, melons, and tree crops.
- Animal Nutrition (Feed Grade): Added to commercial animal feed formulations to prevent copper deficiency, promoting healthy enzymatic function in livestock.
- Mining (Froth Flotation): Acts as a critical activator in the froth flotation process of lead, zinc, and cobalt ores.
- Electroplating: The primary source of copper ions in electroplating baths for PCBs and decorative metal finishes.
🛡️ Uncompromised Heavy Metal Control
When formulating animal feeds or agricultural sprays, cross-contamination with toxic elements like Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), and Cadmium (Cd) is a severe liability. Yinglang Chemical utilizes advanced crystallization and purification techniques to strip these harmful heavy metals from our Copper Sulfate, ensuring our product strictly complies with international feed safety and agricultural standards.
Bulk DG Packaging Options
Because Copper Sulfate is highly toxic to aquatic environments, our packaging is designed for zero-leakage ocean freight:
- 1000 KG / 1200 KG Jumbo Bags (FIBC) with discharge spouts (Recommended for massive agricultural and mining procurement).
- 25 KG Heavy-duty PP woven bags with thick PE inner liners to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
⚠️ Safety & Transport Information (Class 9 DG)
- Transport Classification: Classified as Class 9 (Environmentally Hazardous Substance, Solid).
- UN Number: UN 3077 | Packing Group: III
- Handling Precautions: VERY TOXIC TO AQUATIC LIFE. Harmful if swallowed. Causes severe eye irritation. Operators must wear dust masks and goggles. Store in a cool, dry warehouse, completely isolated from food and feedstuffs.
