Chemical molybdenum products

Chemical molybdenum products available on the market include:

• Lubricant grade molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), produced by drying and de-oiling unroasted high purity molybdenite concentrate
• Sublimed pure molybdic oxide, produced by the sublimation of roasted molybdenite concentrate

The following chemical products are produced by upgrading roasted molybdenite concentrate using wet chemical processes:

• Ammonium heptamolybdate
• Ammonium octamolybdate
• Ammonium dimolybdate
• Calcined pure molybdic oxide
• Sodium molybdate

Because of their unique characteristics, molybdenum chemicals find extensive use in:

• Desulfurization catalysts
• Colorful pigments
• Corrosion inhibitors
• Fertilizer micronutrients
• Flame and smoke suppressants
• Lubricants for extreme pressure and temperature operating conditions
