Refractory & Heavy Metal Compounds (Mo, W, V, Ti, Zr, Cd, Hg)

Refractory metals such as molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium form compounds used in catalysts, pigments and analytical reagents, while heavy metal compounds of cadmium and mercury serve narrower, tightly controlled roles. This sub-category supplies both groups. Examples include Ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate in ACS and biochemistry grades, Ammonium metavanadate in standard, GR and 99.99% trace metals grades, and tantalum alkoxide derivatives.

Ammonium molybdate is the key reagent in phosphate and silicate determination by the molybdenum blue method, so ACS grade with low phosphate is important. Ammonium metavanadate is a precursor for vanadium oxide catalysts and battery cathodes, where high purity improves performance. Cadmium and mercury compounds are highly toxic and restricted, and orders may require end-use documentation.

Products ship in sealed containers with a COA and SDS. Toxic compounds are packed and declared under dangerous-goods rules. Grams to kilograms are available for most refractory metal salts. Ask through the quote panel for oxides, chlorides or alkoxides not yet listed.
