Vanadium Pentoxide Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- vanadium(V) Oxide
- V2O5
- Vanadic Anhydride
Vanadium pentoxide supplier for catalyst producers, alloy makers, ceramic plants and electrolyte formulators in Malaysia. Technical buyers write it V2O5, and the systematic name is vanadium(V) oxide, with vanadic anhydride still used in older specifications. CAS 1314-62-1 identifies it, and it appears as a yellow to orange or rust-brown solid.
Fused flake is the standard traded form, with powder supplied where the oxide has to be weighed and dispersed. Grade is expressed as V2O5 content, commonly 98% or 99.5% minimum, but sodium, potassium, iron and silica limits often decide suitability instead. High-purity grades are produced for battery electrolyte and electronics.
Its largest chemical duty is as the active phase in contact-process sulphuric acid catalyst, with maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride and selective catalytic reduction catalysts close behind. Steelmakers take the flake as feedstock for ferrovanadium and vanadium-bearing alloys. Ceramic and glass producers use it as a colouring oxide, and redox flow battery projects buy it as electrolyte raw material.
This is the pentoxide only. Vanadium trioxide, vanadium tetroxide, ammonium metavanadate, sodium metavanadate, ferrovanadium and vanadium metal are separate products with their own enquiries. Send the form, V2O5 basis, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location, and availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Vanadium Pentoxide 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical flake vanadium pentoxide | yellow-orange fused flake | 98% V2O5 minimum is the common commercial band | The standard traded form, taken by sulphuric acid catalyst manufacture and as the vanadium feedstock charged into ferrovanadium and steel alloying. | Packing is set out in the quotation. |
| Chemical grade vanadium pentoxide | flake or powder | 99.5% V2O5 minimum is the common commercial band | Catalyst manufacture for maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride and selective catalytic reduction systems, where sodium, potassium, iron and silica limits are held tighter than on a technical flake. | Packing is set out in the quotation. |
| Vanadium pentoxide powder | yellow to orange powder | — | Colouring oxide in ceramic glaze, enamel and glass batch work, and the form chosen when the material has to be weighed and dispersed rather than melted or dissolved from flake. | Packing is set out in the quotation. |
| High-purity vanadium pentoxide | powder | — | Vanadium redox flow battery electrolyte and electronics work, where alkali metal and silica content is the limiting specification rather than the headline V2O5 figure. | Packing is set out in the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Store flake and powder in closed containers under dry, well-ventilated conditions, and transfer the material without raising dust. Work to the safety documentation issued for the grade received. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about vanadium pentoxide
Is vanadium oxide the same as vanadium pentoxide?
Vanadium oxide is sometimes used loosely for the pentoxide in commercial enquiries, but it also describes a wider oxide family. Specify V2O5, vanadium(V) oxide or vanadic anhydride for this product. The trioxide and tetroxide are separate oxides with their own enquiries.
Should flake or powder vanadium pentoxide be requested?
Flake is the standard traded form and suits catalyst manufacture and alloying, where the material is melted or reduced. Powder is chosen when the oxide has to be weighed and dispersed into a glaze, frit or formulation. Both cover the same compound.
What grade of vanadium pentoxide is used for sulphuric acid catalyst?
Catalyst manufacture usually calls for the higher purity band, around 99.5% V2O5 minimum, because alkali metal and silica content affect the finished catalyst rather than only the headline assay. Send the impurity limits your specification carries with the enquiry.
Is vanadium pentoxide the same as ammonium metavanadate or ferrovanadium?
No, those are different products. Ammonium metavanadate and sodium metavanadate are separate vanadium salts, while ferrovanadium and vanadium metal are metallurgical products made from the oxide. Request whichever your process sheet names by name.
What details are needed for a vanadium pentoxide price enquiry?
Provide the form, V2O5 content basis, impurity limits, quantity, pack preference and delivery location, and say what the material is used for. V2O5 is a traded commodity, so each quotation is issued against the market at that point with a stated validity period.
Can high-purity vanadium pentoxide be requested for battery electrolyte?
Send the required purity, the alkali metal and silica limits and the quantity with your enquiry, along with the electrolyte specification you are working to. Availability and documentation for the quoted grade are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
How should vanadium pentoxide be stored and handled?
Store it closed and dry with good ventilation, and transfer flake or powder without raising dust. Work to the safety documentation issued for the grade you receive rather than to a general oxide procedure. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
