Cobalt Oxide
Cobalt Oxide
Cobalt Oxide is an inorganic cobalt compound widely used in ceramics, glass and enamel manufacturing, pigments, catalysts, electronics, and specialty chemical applications. The term Cobalt Oxide can refer to more than one cobalt oxide, including Cobalt(II) Oxide (CoO) and Cobalt(II,III) Oxide (Co₃O₄). For commercial products, the exact chemical form should therefore be specified according to the grade being supplied.
Our Cobalt Oxide is supplied under controlled quality standards to provide consistent cobalt content, chemical composition, and reliable performance for industrial, laboratory, and research applications.

Storage & Handling
Store Cobalt Oxide 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 Oxide requires careful handling because exposure to cobalt compounds and their dust may present significant occupational health hazards. Cobalt(II) Oxide has been identified in regulatory references as presenting carcinogenicity concerns, while cobalt oxide dust should be handled to minimize inhalation exposure.
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.
Always refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact chemical form and grade before handling, transporting, or using the product.
