Technical information
Identity, specifications and application context
Legacy content may include historical source-record fields. Request the current specification, lot COA and SDS before making a purchasing decision.
Longchang source page for Cobalt Chloride CAS 7646-79-9. Before qualification or quotation, confirm whether the requirement is anhydrous CoCl2 or a hydrated form, because the old page mixed an anhydrous CAS/formula with color and cobalt-content fields that may reflect a hydrate basis. Send the required form, specification, methods, quantity, packaging and destination to request current identity confirmation, an applicable lot COA, SDS status, sample availability, MOQ, current availability, quotation validity and confirmed lead time.
Public identity fields for CAS 7646-79-9
| Product name | Cobalt Chloride; Cobalt(II) Chloride; Cobalt Dichloride |
|---|---|
| CAS Registry Number | 7646-79-9 |
| Form represented by this identity | Anhydrous CoCl2 |
| Molecular formula | CoCl2 (Cl2Co in source display) |
| Molecular weight | 129.839 g/mol |
| EC number | 231-589-4 |
| PubChem CID | 24288 |
| InChIKey | GVPFVAHMJGGAJG-UHFFFAOYSA-L |
NIST, PubChem and ECHA support these public identity fields. They do not establish a current Longchang hydrate state, purity, grade, appearance, specification, lot result, stock status, regulatory suitability or process performance.
Form and hydrate must be confirmed
| Form | CAS | Formula | Molecular weight | Formula-derived cobalt fraction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride | 7646-79-9 | CoCl2 | 129.839 g/mol | About 45.39% |
| Cobalt chloride hexahydrate | 7791-13-1 | CoCl2·6H2O | 237.931 g/mol | About 24.77% |
The cobalt fractions are formula-mass calculations, not a current assay, purity limit or lot result. A quotation must match the requested form, CAS, test method, calculation basis and acceptance limits.
Information to request for qualification
| Qualification item | What to define or request |
|---|---|
| Controlled identity and form | Anhydrous or hydrate, CAS, formula, identity methods, reference standard and acceptance criteria |
| Cobalt or assay basis | Elemental Co versus compound basis, required limit, method, units, calculation and applicable lot result |
| Water/hydrate control | Hydrate state, free water or loss on drying, method, conditions, units and limits |
| Metal and anion impurities | Named analytes, methods, reporting limits, acceptance limits and applicable lot results |
| Appearance and physical form | Controlled wording, observation conditions, particle/form needs and acceptance criteria |
| Technical context | Process, formulation or reaction; performance criteria; exposure scenario; destination market |
| Documents | Current supplier specification, applicable lot COA, current SDS and requested declarations/questionnaires |
| Commercial details | Sample and full quantity, packaging, destination, MOQ, current availability, quotation validity and confirmed lead time |
Historical source-record fields requiring confirmation
The earlier product page displayed the following fields without a visible current controlled specification number, full method set, identified lot, effective date or approval status. They are historical RFQ context only—not current specifications, lot results, grade definitions or supply commitments.
| Historical field | Old page value | Why it needs review | Current evidence required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity/form | CAS 7646-79-9; Cl2Co; fuchsia monoclinic crystal | Anhydrous identity is mixed with a color often associated with hydrated material | Controlled form, CAS, formula, identity methods and current appearance criterion |
| Cobalt assay | 22% minimum; table values 24.2%, 24.3% and 40.0% | Values use different apparent bases and do not match one clearly defined form | Method, elemental/compound basis, hydrate correction, units, limit and lot result |
| Grade labels | Battery level, first level, special grade | No controlled grade definitions or approval scope was shown | Current grade definition, intended market, specification and quality approval |
| Impurities | Nickel, iron, magnesium, calcium, manganese, zinc, sodium, copper, cadmium, sulfate and water-insolubles limits | No method, reporting basis, version or applicable lot was identified | Current limits, methods, units, reporting thresholds and lot COA |
| Applications | Battery, ceramics, coatings, defense, brewing, catalysts, media, ink and silica-gel uses | Broad list does not prove current form/process/market suitability | Exact application evidence, material form, process qualification and market review |
| Packaging and delivery | 25 kg/bag; by sea | No current package construction, destination or logistics confirmation | Current packaging availability, net weight, classification, route and quotation |

Application and regulatory boundary
ECHA records cobalt dichloride in surface-treatment, pigment/frit, glass, ceramic, varistor, magnet and humidity-indicator contexts. These records do not establish that the requested Longchang material is suitable, authorized or effective for a buyer’s process. Battery, catalyst, laboratory, food, feed, medical, pharmaceutical or consumer-product contexts require exact form, composition, process evidence, exposure assessment and market-specific quality/regulatory review.
Safety and handling boundary
ECHA lists cobalt dichloride on the REACH Candidate List for carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity and states that the entry covers anhydrous and hydrated forms. This webpage is not an SDS and does not provide site-specific handling, storage, first-aid, transport or disposal instructions. Request the current supplier SDS and use it with the buyer’s process, exposure scenario, destination rules and risk assessment.
