Molybdenum Trioxide

Molybdenum trioxide is chemical compound with the formula MoO3. This compound is produced on the largest scale of any molybdenum compound. It occurs as the rare mineral molybdite. Its chief application is as an oxidation catalyst and as a raw material for the production of molybdenum metal.

MoO3

Molybdenum trioxide has widespread industrial use. Its major use is as an additive to steel and other corrosion-resistant alloys. It is also used in the production of molybdenum products, as an industrial catalyst, a pigment, a crop nutrient, a component of glass, ceramics and enamels, a flame retardant for polyester and polyvinyl chloride resins, and as a chemical reagent. Occupational exposures are expected. Molybdenum trioxide passed the animal data screen, underwent a preliminary toxicological evaluation, and is being brought to the Carcinogen Identification Committee for consultation. This is a compilation of the relevant studies identified during the preliminary toxicological evaluation.
