Virtual International manufactures and supplies high-purity Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate, a versatile inorganic compound known for its vibrant blue crystals. We produce this essential chemical by treating copper metal with sulfuric acid, followed by a controlled crystallization process to ensure high purity and consistent particle size. Copper Sulphate is a critical input for agriculture, where it functions as a potent fungicide and soil supplement. The mining industry also relies on it as a key flotation activator, while other sectors use it for electroplating, water treatment, and animal nutrition. We provide a reliable supply of premium-grade Copper Sulphate that meets the demanding standards of your industry.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Purity & Assay (>98.5%): Our Copper Sulphate contains minimal impurities, ensuring predictable and effective performance in chemical reactions and biological applications.
• Excellent Water Solubility: The fine crystalline structure dissolves readily in water, making it easy to prepare solutions for spraying, dosing, and electroplating baths.
• Potent Fungicidal & Algaecidal Activity: It effectively controls fungal diseases on crops (e.g., in Bordeaux mixture) and prevents algae growth in water systems.
• Effective Flotation Reagent: In mining, it serves as an essential activator in the froth flotation process, improving the recovery of zinc, lead, and other sulfide ores.
• Consistent Crystal Size: We offer various grades, from fine snow-like crystals to larger granules, to suit your specific handling and application equipment.

Major Industrial Applications

Agriculture:

• Farmers use it as a fungicide to protect fruits, vegetables, and nuts from mildew and other fungal diseases.
• It corrects copper deficiency in soils and serves as a molluscicide to control snails.

Mining & Mineral Processing:

• Metallurgists use it as a flotation activator to separate valuable minerals like sphalerite (zinc sulfide) from waste rock.

Electroplating & Metal Finishing:

• It is the primary source of copper ions in acid copper electroplating baths, used for decorative and industrial finishes.

Water Treatment:

• Municipalities and industrial facilities add it to reservoirs, ponds, and Cooling towers to control the growth of algae and aquatic weeds.

Animal Nutrition:

• Feed producers include it as a trace mineral supplement in animal feed to promote healthy growth and prevent copper deficiency.
