Cobalt Sulphate

Cobalt Sulphate – Industrial Grade Chemical

Cobalt Sulphate is a solid, pink or red powder used in different industries. It’s valued for its high cobalt content and ability to dissolve in water. You’ll mostly find it in batteries, electroplating, pigments, and farming.

We supply high-purity Cobalt Sulphate in Australia. Our product meets strict quality standards and works well for large factories or smaller jobs.

What is it?

Cobalt Sulphate’s chemical formula is CoSO₄. Most people use the heptahydrate form (CoSO₄·7H₂O) because it’s easy to handle and dissolves well. It’s made by mixing cobalt or cobalt oxide with sulphuric acid.

You’ll see it used a lot in making lithium-ion batteries, especially the battery parts called cathodes. This makes it important in industries like renewable energy and electric vehicles.

How People Use It

Cobalt Sulphate has a lot of uses because it’s stable and dissolves easily. You’ll find it in:

• Batteries: Used to make cathodes in lithium-ion batteries for cars, electronics, and storage systems.

• Electroplating: Helps coat metals to stop rust and make surfaces harder.

• Ceramics and Pigments: Makes a bright blue colour in glass and ceramic glazes.

• Farming: Added to fertilisers as a trace mineral, especially in areas where the soil doesn’t have enough cobalt.

Because of this, it is important in both newer industries like green energy and older industries like farming and manufacturing.
