Potassium molybdate

Potassium molybdate (CAS 13446-49-6), also known as dipotassium molybdate, is an inorganic molybdenum salt; a corrosion inhibitor and micronutrient source.

Where is Potassium molybdate used?

• Water treatment and industrial cooling systems: anodic corrosion inhibitor protecting metal surfaces in recirculating water circuits
• Agriculture and specialty fertilizers: molybdenum micronutrient source in foliar sprays and soil amendments for molybdenum-deficient crops
• Mining and metals processing: flotation reagent systems and metal surface treatment chemistries
• Industrial and institutional cleaning formulations incorporate it for corrosion protection of metal substrates during cleaning cycles.

Good to know: Its solubility and molybdenum content suit applications requiring precise dosing in aqueous systems.

Commercial specifications

• Purity typically 98% or higher
• Packaging from laboratory quantities to bulk industrial supply
