What is vanadium pentoxide flakes?

Vanadium pentoxide is a vanadium intermediate product used as a raw material for the production of ferrovanadium, glass additives/production of different catalysts, vanadium-based master alloys and vanadium metal.

Vanadium pentoxide is commercially available in 3 forms: flakes, powder, and granules. Compared with powder, flakes have low loss on ignition, low sulfur and dust content, and high density. They are mainly used in the production of ferrovanadium and vanadium-aluminum master alloys. Powders are used in pigments, catalysts, enamels, carbides, vanadium chemicals and metal production.
