Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate and Anhydrous Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Copper Sulfate
- copper(II) Sulphate
- copper(II) Sulfate
- Cupric Sulphate
Copper sulphate is a copper salt requested for electroplating, agriculture, mineral processing, water treatment, textile production and chemical manufacture. It is also known as copper sulfate, cupric sulphate, blue vitriol or bluestone, with copper sulphate used as the buyer-facing spelling on this page. Buyers seeking a copper sulphate supplier in Malaysia should state the required hydration form and grade with their enquiry.
The pentahydrate is the familiar blue crystal or crystalline powder and is the common form for many industrial applications. Anhydrous copper sulphate is normally a white to grey-white powder and is requested when the process or method specifically requires material without water of crystallisation. Technical, electroplating, agricultural and feed grades are differentiated by assay, copper-content basis, particle size and impurity limits.
In electroplating, copper sulphate provides copper ions to acid copper baths and electroforming processes. Other uses include copper micronutrient inputs, mineral flotation, textile dyeing, algae-control programmes, chemical manufacture and laboratory reagent work. The selected grade must match the application rather than being chosen by colour alone.
Send the required pentahydrate or anhydrous form, grade, assay or copper-content basis, particle size, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation. If your process has an existing specification, include it so the quotation can be matched to the intended use.

Copper Sulphate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade copper sulphate pentahydrate | blue crystals or crystalline powder | — | General industrial processing, chemical manufacture, textile dyeing and mineral processing where a pentahydrate grade meets the buyer's specification. | Confirmed with the quotation. |
| Electroplating grade copper sulphate pentahydrate | blue crystals | — | Copper ion source for acid copper plating and electroforming baths, with assay and impurity limits matched to the bath specification. | Confirmed with the quotation. |
| Agricultural grade copper sulphate pentahydrate | blue crystals or crystalline powder | — | Copper source for fertiliser manufacture and agricultural formulations where a pentahydrate grade is specified. | Confirmed with the quotation. |
| Feed grade copper sulphate pentahydrate | blue crystals or crystalline powder | — | Trace copper source for mineral premixes and compound feed when the buyer specifies feed grade and the applicable quality requirements. | Confirmed with the quotation. |
| Anhydrous copper sulphate | white to grey-white powder | — | Processes and laboratory work that specifically call for anhydrous copper sulphate rather than the blue pentahydrate. | Confirmed with the quotation. |

Copper Sulphate applications
Common questions about copper sulphate
What is the difference between copper sulphate pentahydrate and anhydrous copper sulphate?
Pentahydrate contains water of crystallisation and is normally a blue crystal or crystalline powder. Anhydrous copper sulphate has no water of crystallisation and is usually a white to grey-white powder. Specify the form required by the formulation, bath or analytical method.
Are copper sulfate and copper sulphate the same product?
Yes. Copper sulfate is the American spelling and copper sulphate is the British spelling for the same copper salt. The frozen page URL keeps the American spelling, while the buyer-facing copy uses copper sulphate.
Which copper sulphate grade is used for electroplating?
Copper sulphate pentahydrate in an electroplating grade is commonly specified as the copper source for acid copper baths. Send the required assay and impurity limits because a general technical grade may not match the bath specification.
What should be included in a copper sulphate specification?
State pentahydrate or anhydrous form, grade, assay or copper-content basis, crystal or powder form, particle size and any limits for iron, chloride, free acidity or water-insoluble matter. The intended application also helps match the quotation to the requirement.
Can agricultural or feed grade copper sulphate be requested?
Send the exact application, grade, quality standard, quantity and required documents with the enquiry. Availability and documentation for the quoted grade are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
How is copper sulphate packed and delivered?
Packing format, availability, delivery route and timing depend on the grade, quantity and destination. State any pack-size or handling constraints with the enquiry, and the commercial details will be confirmed in the quotation.
How is copper sulphate price determined?
Price depends on the hydration form, grade, assay, impurity limits, particle size, quantity, packing and delivery requirements. A current quotation is issued for the stated requirement and includes a validity period.
Can anhydrous copper sulphate replace the pentahydrate?
The forms should not be substituted on an equal-weight basis because the pentahydrate contains water of crystallisation. Check the formulation or bath calculation on the required copper or copper sulphate basis before changing form.
