Copper Sulphate

Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate is a highly versatile industrial chemical with a broad range of applications across multiple industries. Known for its distinctive blue crystalline appearance, it plays a crucial role in sectors like agriculture, mining, water treatment, and chemical processing. With high purity and consistent performance, this industrial-grade copper sulphate is the go-to compound for many industrial processes.

  Agriculture& Farming:

• Fungicide: Copper sulphate is widely used as a fungicide to control diseases such as downy mildew and leaf spots in crops. It is also a component of Bordeaux mixture, a powerful fungicidal agent for grapevines and other fruits.
• Animal Feed Supplement: As a trace mineral supplement, copper sulphate is essential in preventing copper deficiencies in livestock, which can lead to poor growth, reproductive issues, and lower immunity.

  Water Treatment:

• Algaecide: Copper sulphate is extensively used in the treatment of water bodies like lakes, ponds, and reservoirs to control algae blooms and unwanted aquatic vegetation.
• Aquaculture: In fish farming, it helps to control parasites and bacterial infections, ensuring healthier aquatic ecosystems.

  Mining& Metallurgy:

• Flotation Agent: Copper sulphate is a key reagent in the flotation process of ores, where it acts as an activator for the separation of valuable minerals such as zinc, lead, and gold from their ores.
• Electrolytic Processes: In copper refining, copper sulphate is used in electroplating and as an electrolyte in refining pure copper from ore.

  Chemical Manufacturing:

• Catalyst and Reagent: Copper sulphate is widely used as a catalyst in organic synthesis and as a reagent in various chemical reactions, including the production of other copper-based compounds.
• Pigments & Dyes: It serves as a mordant in the dyeing and printing of textiles and in the manufacturing of pigments used in ceramics, glass, and inks.

  Construction& Wood Preservation:

• Wood Preservative: Copper sulphate is employed in treating timber to protect against rot and insect damage, enhancing the lifespan of wood used in construction, fencing, and marine applications.
• Concrete Protection: In construction, it is also used as an additive in some anti-corrosion formulations, particularly in high-moisture environments.

 Electronics & Battery Manufacturing:

• Electroplating: Copper sulphate is crucial in the electroplating industry for creating copper coatings on metals, improving their conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Battery Components: It is sometimes used in the production of copper-based batteries and electrical components.

  Leather and Textile Industry:

• Mordant: In textile dyeing and leather tanning, copper sulphate acts as a mordant, helping fix dyes to fibers and enhancing colorfastness.
