Cobalt Sulfate is a highly water-soluble salt essential for providing bioavailable cobalt in agricultural and industrial systems. It is typically supplied in Heptahydrate or Monohydrate forms to meet specific processing requirements.

In the agricultural sector, it is a vital Feed Grade additive used to prevent cobalt deficiency in livestock and promote Vitamin B12 synthesis. Its high purity ensures safety and efficacy in nutritional premixes.

Industrially, it serves as a crucial Technical Grade precursor for the production of cobalt pigments and electroplating baths. The compound’s paramagnetic nature also makes it useful in specialized electronic and chemical sensing applications.
