24% Cu
A bright blue, crystalline compound known as Blue Vitriol. It is a potent fungicide and algaecide, widely used in agriculture for Bordeaux mixture. It is also a critical micronutrient supplement for animal feed and a key electrolyte in electroplating.
Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate is the most common sulphate salt of copper. It is well known for its vibrant blue color and solubility in water. Ruvon International supplies high-purity (98% Min) Copper Sulphate which is free from anti-caking agents, ensuring it is safe for varied applications.
In agriculture, it is the primary ingredient in the Bordeaux Mixture (Lime + Copper Sulphate), which controls fungal infections on grapes, melons, and berry fruits. In the industrial sector, it is used as an electrolyte in copper refining and electroplating, and as a raw material for producing other copper compounds.

When Copper Sulphate is mixed with slaked lime, it forms the legendary Bordeaux Mixture. This combination creates a long-lasting fungicide that sticks to plant leaves even during rain. It effectively controls diseases like Downy Mildew, Powdery Mildew, and other fungal infections in vineyards, fruit orchards, and potato fields. Additionally, as an algaecide, it clears algae from swimming pools and water reservoirs.
