Application:
1. The main purpose is to produce electronic materials using cobalt oxide and metallic cobalt as alloy materials, with a small amount used for making barometers, gravimeters, hidden ink, etc. Cobalt chloride test strips turn blue when dry and pink when wet. Adding a certain amount of cobalt chloride to silica gel can indicate its moisture absorption level and is commonly used in dry storage devices
2. Used as paint drying agent, military toxic gas and ammonia absorber, beer foam stabilizer, discoloring silica gel drying indicator, glass and ceramic colorant, etc
3. As a feed nutrient enhancer. Used for electroplating. Used as a coloring agent for glass and ceramics, a drying agent for paint, and an absorbent for ammonia. Manufacturing cobalt catalysts and producing color changing silicone dry wet indicators. Manufacturing hidden ink. Used as beer foam stabilizer. Animal husbandry prepares compound feed as a cobalt supplement.
