The Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate bulk price moves with the copper market, which is why quotations carry short validity and why two offers can differ more than you expect. This guide explains the price drivers, the grades used in mining and agriculture, and how to buy blue copper sulfate crystals in bulk.

Why the Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Bulk Price Follows Copper
Copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O) contains about 25% copper by weight. Copper is by far the most valuable input, so producers price their product against copper metal and scrap, plus sulfuric acid and processing. When copper rises, quotations rise within days.
Three practical consequences for buyers:
- Validity is short. Expect offers valid for days rather than weeks; confirm the validity date before you compare.
- Compare price per kilogram of copper. Divide the price by the guaranteed copper content to compare products fairly.
- Timing matters. Large buyers often split annual needs into several orders to average out copper movements.
Our current list price is in the key facts table above and is confirmed in a written quotation.
Grades: Mining, Agricultural, Feed and Plating
The same chemical is sold in several grades. The difference is mainly in impurity limits and crystal size:
| Grade | Typical focus |
|---|---|
| Mining / technical | Purity about 98%, copper about 25%; crystal size suited to dissolving on site |
| Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate agricultural grade | Purity and limits on lead, arsenic and cadmium as required by fungicide or fertilizer rules |
| Feed grade | Tight heavy-metal limits where permitted as a feed additive |
| Electroplating | Low iron and other metals that affect plating quality |
Crystals range from fine “snow” to large crystals. Fine material dissolves faster; large crystals cake less in storage. Specify what your process needs and confirm limits on the COA. Identity data is published on PubChem.

Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate for Mining Flotation and Agriculture
In mineral processing, Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate for mining flotation is mainly used as an activator: it conditions sphalerite (zinc sulfide) and some other minerals so that xanthate collectors can float them. Dose is set by plant testwork. Many concentrators buy it together with collectors such as those discussed in our guide to xanthates in mineral processing.
In agriculture, it is the copper source for Bordeaux mixture (with lime) and other copper fungicides, and a micronutrient where soils are copper-deficient. It is also used in electroplating, copper refining and, where regulations allow, as a feed additive.

Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Export Packaging and Transport
Standard Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate export packaging is 25 kg PP/PE bags or 1,000 kg jumbo bags, with the final packing confirmed in the quotation. Keep bags dry to prevent caking.
The product is classified as UN 3077, Class 9 (environmentally hazardous substance) because it is toxic to aquatic life, so packages carry marine-pollutant marking and the shipment follows the IMDG Code. It is also harmful if swallowed: handle with gloves and eye protection and store away from food and feed. Our logistics and shipping page explains how we prepare documents.
How to Buy Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate 98% at the Right Price
- State the grade and copper minimum (for example 98% purity, 24.9% Cu minimum).
- Compare per kilogram of copper, including against copper sulfate monohydrate (Cu 34% min), which carries more copper per ton and can save freight if your process accepts powder.
- Ask for the validity date and confirm quickly when the price suits you.
- Agree documents: COA, SDS, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin.
- Plan regular lots to average out copper price swings.

Frequently asked questions
Why are copper sulfate quotations valid for such a short time?
The price is tied to copper metal, which changes daily. Suppliers limit validity so the quotation reflects the copper price when you confirm.
What is the difference between pentahydrate and monohydrate?
Pentahydrate is blue crystals with about 25% copper. Monohydrate is a powder with about 34 to 35% copper, so it carries more copper per ton shipped.
Is copper sulfate pentahydrate hazardous to ship?
It ships as UN 3077, Class 9 environmentally hazardous substance. It is also harmful if swallowed, so it needs proper labelling and handling.
How is copper sulfate pentahydrate packed?
Usually in 25 kg PP/PE bags or 1,000 kg jumbo bags. The final packing is confirmed in the quotation.
