Description

Cobalt Sulfate CAS NO 10393-49-4 is an essential inorganic salt and a vital source of cobalt ions for a wide range of industrial and technical processes. Its primary value lies in its role as a critical micronutrient and a versatile precursor in material synthesis. This product is indispensable for manufacturers in the agriculture, battery, ceramics, and chemical catalyst industries, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount for production continuity.

Application

• Animal Feed & Fertilizer Additive: As a crucial trace element to prevent cobalt deficiency in livestock and certain crops.
• Lithium-Ion Battery Cathodes: A key precursor material in the synthesis of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO₂) and other advanced cathode chemistries.
• Electroplating & Surface Treatment: Used in electroplating baths to deposit cobalt and cobalt alloy coatings for wear resistance, hardness, and magnetic properties.
• Ceramic & Glass Industry: Imparts stable blue colors to glazes, enamels, and glass.
• Drying Agent (Siccative): Acts as an accelerator in paints, varnishes, and printing inks to speed up the drying process.
• Chemical Catalyst: Serves as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in various organic synthesis and petroleum refining processes.
• Pigments & Dyes: Used in the manufacture of cobalt blue and other inorganic pigments.
