Cobalt Carbonate
Cobalt Carbonate
Cobalt Carbonate is an inorganic cobalt compound used as a source of cobalt in ceramics, pigments, catalysts, specialty chemicals, and other industrial applications. Cobalt(II) Carbonate has the chemical formula CoCO₃ and a molecular weight of approximately 118.94 g/mol. It is commonly encountered as a pink to violet or pale-red solid, while commercial cobalt carbonate products may also be supplied in basic or hydrated forms depending on the manufacturing process and required grade.
Our Cobalt Carbonate is supplied under controlled quality standards to provide consistent cobalt content, chemical composition, and reliable performance for industrial, laboratory, and research applications.

Note: The formula, CAS number, molecular weight, and basic physical properties above correspond to Cobalt(II) Carbonate. Commercial products may instead be supplied as basic cobalt carbonate or hydrated cobalt carbonate, which have different compositions and molecular weights. Therefore, the exact specification should be matched to the grade you sell.
Storage & Handling
Store Cobalt Carbonate in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and protect the product from moisture and contamination. Avoid unnecessary generation of airborne dust during storage and handling.
Follow the storage conditions specified in the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact grade supplied.
Safety Information
Cobalt Carbonate requires careful handling because cobalt compounds can present significant occupational health hazards. Cobalt(II) carbonate is classified in regulatory databases with hazards including skin and respiratory sensitization, suspected genetic damage, carcinogenicity by inhalation, reproductive toxicity, and very high aquatic toxicity.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including protective gloves, safety goggles, suitable protective clothing, and appropriate respiratory protection where dust exposure may occur. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes.
Prevent release into the environment and follow appropriate workplace chemical-handling procedures. Always refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact grade before handling, transporting, or using the product.
