Product Overview

Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate (CuSO₄·5H₂O), also known as blue vitriol or bluestone, is a vivid blue crystalline inorganic salt with a molecular weight of 249.68 g/mol. It begins dehydrating at 110°C and is highly soluble in water with a characteristically acidic pH of 3–4.5. It is one of the most commercially important copper compounds across electroplating, agriculture, mining and water treatment industries.

S. N. Enterprise supplies industrial-grade Copper Sulphate with full manufacturer documentation. The distinctive bright blue crystals are stored in sealed original bags at our Shapar warehouse, dispatched same-day across Saurashtra and next-day to Ahmedabad and beyond.

Typical Applications

Copper Electroplating

Primary copper salt in acid copper sulphate plating baths for PCBs, automotive components and decorative electroforming applications.

Agricultural Fungicide (Bordeaux)

Combined with lime to make Bordeaux mixture — the standard fungicide for viticulture, horticulture and cereal crop disease control.

Water Treatment & Algicide

Controls algal growth in swimming pools, reservoirs and irrigation canals at low dosage concentrations effectively.

Mining & Ore Flotation

Activator in froth flotation circuits for zinc, lead and gold ores, improving mineral recovery and selectivity.

Wood Preservation

Impregnation of structural timber against fungal decay and insect attack in outdoor and marine construction applications.

Laboratory Reagent

Standard reagent for Fehling's test, qualitative analysis, electrochemistry and general chemistry laboratory use.
