Copper sulphate pentahydrate 98% (animal food additive)

High-purity copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O) supplied as bright blue crystalline solids or fine blue powder suitable for industrial and feed-grade applications. The material supplied meets feed- and fertilizer-grade quality requirements and is offered with a high assay (up to 98% CuSO4·5H2O) and low heavy-metal contaminants for safe use where permitted.

Key features

• Chemical: Copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O)
• CAS: 7758-99-8
• Typical appearance: small blue clean crystals or fine blue powder
• Grades available: industrial, fertilizer, feed, electroplating
• Typical analytical limits: Cu (as Cu) ≈25% minimum; Pb ≤10 ppm; As ≤5 ppm; Cd ≤10 ppm

Applications

• Animal food additive (as a source of supplemental copper where permitted by local feed regulations)
• Fertilizers and micronutrient correction for agriculture
• Electroplating baths and surface treatment chemicals
• Chemical intermediate for the manufacture of copper salts (e.g., copper chloride, cuprous chloride, cuprous oxide)
• General industrial uses in hardware, textiles, and laboratory reagents

Quality and regulatory notes

• Product is produced to specification grades appropriate for feed and fertilizer use; customers should verify local regulatory approvals and maximum inclusion rates before using in animal feed.
• Low heavy-metal specifications make this suitable for applications requiring controlled trace contaminants.

Handling, storage and safety

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials (strong bases, sulfides, metal powders).
• Avoid inhalation and contact with skin or eyes; use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, respirator as needed).
• Copper sulfate is toxic to aquatic life; prevent release to waterways and follow local disposal regulations.

Packaging and supply

• Supplied in commercial packaging and lot sizes to suit industrial buyers. For exact packaging, certificate of analysis (CoA) and availability, request detailed commercial terms and technical documentation prior to purchase.
