I. Electroplating and Surface Treatment (Most Core Application)

• asCobalt Plating Solution Main Salt, providing Co²⁺, used for hard cobalt plating, decorative cobalt plating, alloy plating (cobalt-nickel / cobalt-tungsten).
• Enhance plating layerHardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, used in aerospace, machinery, and electronic components.
• also used forElectroless cobalt platingandCobalt-based alloy platingpreparation.

II. New Energy and Battery Materials

• Lithium battery cathode precursor: Key cobalt source for the synthesis of NCM/NCA ternary materials and LiCoO₂, stabilizing structure, enhancing energy density and cycle life.
• Alkaline storage batteries: Nickel-cadmium / nickel-hydrogen battery additive, improving charge-discharge performance and lifespan.

III. Ceramics and Glass

• Glaze / Colorant: Preparation ofCobalt Blue(classic blue glaze), used for coloring ceramics, enamels, and glass, with stable color and high-temperature resistance.
• Used forColored porcelain, art glass, architectural ceramicscoloring.

IV. Coatings and Inks

• Paint drying accelerator: Accelerates the drying of alkyd paints and epoxy paints, shortening surface drying / hard drying time.
• Cobalt blue pigmentRaw material, used for blue coloring of coatings, inks, and plastics.

V. Agriculture and Animal Husbandry

• Feed additive: Cobalt is a core component of vitamin B₁₂, promoting red blood cell formation and protein metabolism in ruminants (cattle / sheep), and preventing cobalt deficiency diseases.
• Trace element fertilizer: Small amounts used for soil / foliar cobalt supplementation, improving crop quality.

VI. Chemical Industry and Scientific Research

• Catalyst: Catalyst or precursor for organic synthesis (benzoxazole, β-acetylaminoketone, etc.), oxidation reactions, and hydrogenation reactions.
• Cobalt Salt Raw Materials: Basic raw material for the preparation of cobalt oxide, cobalt hydroxide, cobalt carbonate, cobalt complexes, etc.
• Analytical reagent: Colorimetric determination of protein, bilirubin, coordination titration indicator, laboratory cobalt standard solution.

VII. Other Applications

• Magnetic materials: Preparation of cobalt ferrite, soft magnetic / permanent magnetic materials.
• Biomedicine: Cell culture, enzyme activity research, blood / bilirubin colorimetric standard.
• Other: Lithopone additive, tire adhesive, foam stabilizer, etc.
