Applications of Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate

Agriculture

Farmers and agrochemical formulators use it to make Bordeaux mixture, a copper fungicide made with lime such as our calcium hydroxide powder. It also supplies copper to deficient soils and animal feed premixes. Always follow local registration rules for crop protection products. Browse our agricultural chemicals.

Electroplating and Metal Treatment

Plating shops use copper sulphate in acid copper plating baths for electronics, printed circuit boards and decorative finishes. See our metal treatment chemicals.

Water, Mining and Other Uses

It controls algae in some reservoirs and irrigation systems, where local rules allow. Mining operations use it as an activator in mineral flotation. It is also used in wood preservatives and textile dyeing. View our water treatment chemicals.

Safety and Handling

The bag carries the signal word DANGER. Handle it with care.

• Harmful if swallowed. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling.
• Serious eye damage: Wear goggles. Rinse eyes with water for several minutes if contact occurs.
• Skin irritation: Wear gloves and protective clothing.
• Environment: Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Prevent release into drains and waterways.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Always read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store bags in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from food and animal feed. Keep them closed, because the crystals can lose water in dry heat or cake in damp air. Use it within three years of manufacture.
