Copper sulfate exists in several forms, with Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate (CAS 7758-99-8) and Basic Copper Sulfate (CAS 1344-73-6) being two of the most commonly utilized. While both are copper compounds, their chemical structures, properties, and optimal applications differ significantly. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers both, providing clients with the right product for their specific requirements.

Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate, often recognized by its bright blue crystals, is highly soluble in water and widely used as an algicide, fungicide, and in various industrial processes. Its ease of dissolution makes it convenient for many applications, particularly in water treatment and agriculture where uniform distribution is key. The higher copper content in Basic Copper Sulfate, typically appearing as a light blue or green powder, makes it particularly valuable for applications requiring a more concentrated copper delivery. Its lower solubility in water also influences its application methods.

For agricultural purposes, Basic Copper Sulfate is often favored as a fungicide due to its particle size and dispersibility, offering good adherence and rain resistance on plant surfaces. Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate might be preferred in aquatic applications where rapid dissolution is desired for quick algae control. In industrial settings, the choice between the two can depend on the specific chemical process, the required copper concentration, and the desired reaction kinetics. For instance, in electroplating, the form used might be dictated by the specific bath composition and operational parameters.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides expert guidance to help clients determine which form of copper sulfate best suits their needs. Whether you require the readily soluble pentahydrate for water treatment or the finely dispersed basic form for agricultural applications, understanding these distinctions is crucial for achieving optimal results. Consulting with our team ensures you source the most effective and appropriate copper sulfate product.
