Our range of molybdenum salt includes molybdenum salt powder, ammonium molybdate, sodium molybdate, molybdic acid and molybdenum trioxide. Useful as a source of molybdenum, our composition of sodium molybdenum is often found as dehydrate. Its accurate composition and purity makes its utility in the following areas Uses Used in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry to track various organic chemicals that are colorless after a chromatographic procedure, which it always stains blue As a fertilizer It is used for water treatment. It is used in industry for corrosion inhibition.

The agriculture industry uses 1 million pounds per year as a fertilizer. In particular, its use has been suggested for treatment of whiptail in broccoli and cauliflower in molybdenum-deficient soils. However, care must be taken because at a level of 0.3 ppm sodium molybdate can cause copper deficiencies in animals, particularly cattle.

Sodium molybdate is used in industry for corrosion inhibition, as Sodium molybdate is a non-oxidizing anodic inhibitor. The addition of sodium molybdate significantly reduces the nitrite requirement of fluids inhibited with nitrite-amine, and improves the corrosion protection of carboxylate salt fluids.

In industrial water treatment applications where galvanic corrosion is a potential due to bimetallic construction, the application of sodium molybdate is preferred over sodium nitrite. Sodium molybdate has the advantage in that the dosing of lower ppm's of molybdate allow for lower conductivity of the circulating water. Sodium molybdate at levels of 50-100 ppm offer the same levels of corrosion inhibition that sodium nitrite at levels of 800+ ppm. By utilizing lower concentrations of sodium molybdate, conductivity is kept at a minimum and thus galvanic corrosion potentials are decreased.
