One compound, a dozen uses — see how each industry relies on Copper Sulphate, and which grade fits.
Copper Sulphate is a core ingredient in Bordeaux mixture and other copper-based fungicides used against fungal and bacterial diseases in grapes, potatoes, tomatoes and orchard crops. It also corrects copper deficiency in soils, applied via foliar spray, soil application or drip fertigation.
Agriculture Grade DetailsIn fish farming, controlled doses of Copper Sulphate manage algae blooms and treat external parasites in ponds. Dosage is calculated carefully against water hardness and volume, since fish are sensitive to copper at higher concentrations.
Crystal Form DetailsMunicipal reservoirs, canals and industrial cooling towers use Copper Sulphate as an algaecide to control algae growth that affects taste, odour and system efficiency. It is dosed at controlled, low concentrations and is not used for potable drinking water treatment.
Read Water Treatment FAQsHigh-purity Copper Sulphate dissolved in sulphuric acid forms the electrolyte for copper electroplating baths, used in decorative and functional plating, PCB manufacturing, and electro-refining of copper metal.
Electroplating Grade DetailsCopper is an essential trace mineral for livestock. Feed Grade Copper Sulphate is blended into poultry, swine and cattle premixes at veterinarian-recommended levels to support enzyme function, immunity and growth performance.
Feed Grade DetailsAnalytical-grade Copper Sulphate is a staple reagent for titrations, Fehling's/Benedict's solution preparation, and the classic crystal-growing demonstration used in school and college chemistry classes.
Laboratory Grade DetailsCopper Sulphate is used as an activator in froth flotation, helping separate valuable sulphide minerals like zinc and lead ores from waste rock during mineral processing.
Industrial Grade DetailsIn textiles, Copper Sulphate acts as a mordant that helps dyes bind more effectively to fibres. In leather processing, it is used in specific tanning and finishing formulations.
Technical Grade DetailsCopper Sulphate serves as a raw material and intermediate for producing other copper compounds and specialty chemicals across a range of downstream manufacturing processes.
Technical Grade DetailsCopper-based wood preservative formulations use Copper Sulphate to help protect timber from fungal decay and wood-boring insects in construction and outdoor applications.
