Specifications and Purity Standards

Each batch of high purity material is manufactured and tested to meet stringent quality criteria. Typical acceptance targets emphasize consistent copper content and very low impurities:

• Cu min 25 percent for dependable activity; equivalent to copper content 25%.
• Ultra-low heavy metals copper sulfate profile supporting safety in feeds and industrial usage.
• arsenic max 10 ppm, lead max 10 ppm, and cadmium max 1 ppm for tight contaminant control.
• moisture max 1.0% to preserve flowability and shelf stability.

Appearance is specified as blue crystalline powder or granules, enabling blending flexibility for both premixes and direct inclusion programs. This high purity copper sulfate is suitable for rigorous applications where consistency and compliance matter.

Grades, Forms, and Packaging Options

To match specific customer requirements, we offer multiple variants of copper sulfate pentahydrate:

• Feed Grade—optimized for nutrition programs in poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture.
• Industrial Grade—engineered for non-feed operations requiring stability, solubility, and color consistency.
• Chemical Grade Copper Sulfate—suited to general laboratory and process applications.

Standard supply uses 25kg bags copper sulfate for safe handling; custom packaging copper sulfate solutions are available for special line requirements, while bulk copper sulfate deliveries support large-scale users.

Animal Nutrition and Functional Benefits

As a targeted trace mineral feed supplement, copper sulfate feed additive contributes to enzyme function, redox balance, and metabolic processes. It is applied as an antimicrobial feed additive and a growth promoter livestock solution in certain regulated programs. When used as copper sulfate for feed premix, it distributes evenly and supports consistent copper delivery throughout rations.

Applications include:

• copper supplement for poultry and poultry feed additive copper to help stabilize performance and egg quality parameters.
• copper supplement for swine and swine feed additive copper to assist in daily gain targets and feed efficiency.
• copper supplement for cattle and cattle feed additive copper to maintain health and productivity.
• copper sulfate aquaculture and aquaculture feed additive copper to support aquatic species copper requirements under professional guidance.

In feed design, this ingredient functions as an immune function support feed additive to help bolster resilience, can improve feed intake copper performance trends where appropriate, and aids in efforts to prevent copper deficiency. It is considered an effective option for livestock growth promoter copper strategies in markets where such use is permitted. Overall, it serves as dependable animal nutrition copper for multi-species programs.

Identity and Synonyms

Users may encounter this compound under several equivalents: copper sulphate pentahydrate (British spelling), blue vitriol, bluestone chemical, and chalcanthite. All refer to the same highly soluble pentahydrate form recognized by CuSO4·5H2O and CuSO4 5H2O. For documentation, reference CAS 7758-99-8 and EINECS 616-477-9.

Storage and Shelf Life

To preserve integrity, maintain storage cool dry place conditions. Keep bags sealed and protected from humidity and contamination. Under proper handling and palletization, the product offers a reliable shelf life 24 months copper sulfate from the date of production.

Quality Control and Testing Focus

Routine QC verifies copper assay, particle uniformity, and impurity limits. Confirmed metrics include copper assay at or above 25.0%, heavies within designated thresholds, and residual moisture below maximum. This program supports consistent downstream outcomes in premix blending, pelleting, and liquid dissolution.

• Appearance: Blue crystalline granules or powder for easy handling.
• Copper: Not less than 25.0% as Cu, meeting feed and industrial standards.
• Arsenic: Tight control with a limit aligned to arsenic max 10 ppm.
• Lead: Verified compliance at lead max 10 ppm.
• Cadmium: Ultra-low level capped at cadmium max 1 ppm.
• Moisture: Process-controlled at moisture max 1.0% to maintain stability.
