Molybdenum Trioxide is a high-purity inorganic compound available in Technical Grade and Sublimed Grade for advanced industrial utility. It serves as a vital precursor for molybdenum metal and is a key component in the synthesis of specialty catalysts.

In the energy sector, it is increasingly used as an electrode material in lithium-ion batteries and as a high-performance catalyst in hydrodesulfurization. Its exceptional purity ensures high efficiency in chemical transformations and electronic applications.

The product also serves as a critical micronutrient in the agricultural industry, facilitating nitrogen fixation in legume crops. Its consistent particle size and chemical stability make it ideal for inclusion in specialized fertilizer blends and animal feed additives.

Molybdenum Trioxide

  • [Industrial Catalysis]: Used as a primary catalyst in the petroleum industry for removing sulfur from crude oil during refining.
  • [Metallurgy]: Acts as an essential alloying agent in the production of high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steels.
  • [Agriculture]: Provides molybdenum as a trace element to improve plant health and enhance the efficiency of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Classified as Eye Irrit. 2 and Carc. 2; suspected of causing cancer via inhalation. Wear HEPA Respirators, Safety Goggles, and Chemical-Resistant Gloves during handling.

Available in 25 kg Fiber Drums, 50 kg Steel Drums, and 1000 kg Big Bags (FIBC).
