Manganese Oxide (MnO) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- manganese(II) Oxide
- Manganous Oxide
- Manganese Monoxide
- MnO
Manganese oxide supplier for fertiliser, animal-feed, ceramic and metallurgical buyers in Malaysia. Traded plainly as manganese oxide, the material is manganese(II) oxide or manganous oxide, MnO (CAS 1344-43-0), a green to grey-green powder that is practically insoluble in water.
Grades separate by duty rather than by name. Fertiliser and feed grades are specified on a minimum manganese content and a particle size that blends cleanly, while ceramic and metallurgical grades are chosen for fired colour or for charging behaviour in a furnace.
The name is loose in trade, so the oxidation state matters. This page is manganese(II) oxide; the black manganese(IV) compound sold as manganese dioxide is a separate product with a separate page, and the water-soluble manganese salts used in foliar spraying are different products again.
Send the required grade, minimum manganese content, particle size, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, documentation and timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Manganese Oxide grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fertiliser grade manganese oxide | green-grey powder or granules | — | Manganese micronutrient carried in blended and granulated fertilisers, where a slow-release insoluble oxide is preferred to a soluble salt for soil-applied correction of manganese deficiency. | Bagged powder or granules; the bag size is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Feed grade manganese oxide | fine green-grey powder | — | Trace manganese carrier in mineral premixes and compound feed, blended on a stated minimum manganese content and a particle size that mixes evenly through the premix. | Bag packing is usual; the size is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Technical and ceramic grade manganese oxide | green-grey to brown-grey powder | — | Manganese colourant and flux constituent in ceramic bodies, glazes and speciality glass batches, where the fired tone and the batch chemistry govern the choice. | Packing is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Metallurgical grade manganese oxide | coarse granules or lumps | — | Manganese addition to steel, ferroalloy and sinter charges, selected on manganese content and lump or granule size rather than on chemical purity. | Bulk bag or bag packing; the format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Manganese Oxide applications
Safety and handling
Store bagged material sealed in a dry place, clear of strong acids. Control dust when handling fine powder, use gloves and eye protection, and follow the safety information for the grade quoted.
Common questions about manganese oxide
Is manganese oxide the same as manganese dioxide?
No. Manganese oxide traded under that plain name is manganese(II) oxide, a green-grey insoluble powder for fertiliser, feed, ceramic and metallurgical use. Manganese dioxide is the black manganese(IV) compound used in cells, oxidation and filter media, and it has its own page, so order it by name if that is what the specification calls for.
What does manganous oxide mean on a specification?
Manganous refers to manganese in the divalent state, so manganous oxide and manganese monoxide both describe the same material as manganese(II) oxide. If a document lists a different oxidation state or a mixed oxide such as Mn3O4, quote that description in the enquiry rather than assuming.
Which grade suits fertiliser or animal feed use?
Fertiliser blends normally take a granular or powder grade selected on minimum manganese content and blending behaviour, while feed premixes take a fine powder that disperses evenly at low inclusion. State the intended use, the manganese content and any documentation your programme requires.
Does manganese oxide dissolve in water?
It is practically insoluble in water, which is why it is used for soil-applied and dry-blended manganese supply rather than for spray tanks. Foliar and fertigation programmes normally call for a water-soluble manganese source instead, so say which route the crop plan follows.
How is manganese content specified?
Buyers usually quote a minimum percentage of manganese rather than a purity figure for the compound, because commercial grades vary by origin and processing route. Give the minimum content, the acceptable moisture and any impurity limits so the grade can be matched.
What details are needed for a manganese oxide price enquiry?
Provide the grade, minimum manganese content, particle size or lump range, quantity and delivery location, plus the end use. Mention preferred packing and documentation so the quotation covers the full requirement. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
