metal· JVASP-129145· CoCl
Cobalt chloride (CoCl) is an inorganic metal halide compound combining cobalt with chlorine, typically encountered as a hydrated salt or anhydrous form in industrial and laboratory settings. It serves primarily in electroplating and metal surface treatment processes, chemical synthesis as a catalyst or precursor, and as a humidity indicator due to its hygroscopic color-change properties. Engineers select cobalt chloride for applications requiring cobalt ion delivery or catalytic function in corrosive chloride environments, though its use is increasingly restricted in some regions due to toxicological concerns.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
