Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Cobalt (II) sulfate heptahydrate (Cobaltous sulfate)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-988)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a premium purity of 99 percent or higher. Rigorously manufactured and verified under Kemaus strict laboratory quality control standards. It guarantees exceptionally low trace levels of foreign heavy metals and interfering ions, ensuring absolute reliability and high sensitivity for quantitative and qualitative baselines.
Physical Properties: Odorless, dark red to ruby-pink crystalline granules or crystals. It maintains chemical stability under standard environment setups but sheds crystalline water molecules when heated.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water, yielding a clear pink to reddish solution; soluble in alcohol and methanol.
Key Use: Heavily utilized as a primary reagent and stock standard solution for calibrating advanced spectroscopic systems and analytical assays. Commonly applied as a premium electrolyte component in electrochemical research, cobalt electroplating methods, and advanced battery technology models. Functions as an effective catalyst in organic chemical syntheses, and used as a specialized coloring agent in materials science research for ceramics and glass formulations.

Safety & Hazards (Critical & Hazardous)

Classification: May cause cancer (Carcinogen). Harmful if swallowed. Causes skin irritation. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled. Suspected of causing genetic defects. May damage fertility or the unborn child. Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.
Health Risks: Direct eye or skin contact triggers immediate burning irritation, painful tissue redness, and allergic responses. Inhalation of fine airborne dust aggressively damages the upper respiratory tract, inducing severe coughing, wheezing, and chronic asthma-like sensitization. Long-term cumulative exposure carries lethal systemic health risks.
First Aid Measures: Flush affected eyes or skin immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated garments. Seek prompt emergency medical evaluation immediately.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Highly Toxic and Environmentally Hazardous. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a dedicated, secure chemical safety storage cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated zone at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep strictly isolated from strong oxidizing agents, alkali metals, and high temperatures.
Precautions: Comprehensive specialized PPE is mandatory, including chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof safety goggles, a protective lab coat, and a fine particulate respirator. Handle exclusively within a functioning laboratory fume hood to prevent accidental dust inhalation or exposure.
