Potassium Molybdate is a Technical Grade water-soluble salt used as a source of molybdenum and as a corrosion inhibitor. It appears as a white crystalline powder with excellent solubility in aqueous systems.
In the agricultural sector, it serves as a high-efficiency micronutrient fertilizer, essential for nitrogen fixation in legumes. It is preferred for foliar application due to its rapid uptake and high potassium content.
As a corrosion inhibitor, it is frequently used in closed-circuit cooling systems and engine antifreeze formulations. Its oxidizing properties help form a passive protective film on ferrous metal surfaces.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Potassium Molybdate (CAS 13446-49-6) to customers in more than 40 countries.
