Vanadium Oxide V2O5 Flakes
High-purity vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) flakes available in 98%, 99%, and 99.5% grades for chemical processing, metallurgy, and catalyst production applications.
Product Overview
Vanadium oxide flakes primarily consist of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) supplied in fused flake form. Commercial grades range from 98-99% purity, with high-purity products reaching approximately 99.5% and above. The physical form requirements vary by application, with flakes commonly used in metallurgy while powder and granular forms serve chemical and catalyst applications.

Available Grades
V2O5 98% Flakes
Common metallurgical feedstock, particularly for ferrovanadium production with standard impurity profiles.
V2O5 99% Flakes
Higher V2O5 concentration with tighter impurity limits, suitable for metallurgical and alloy applications requiring enhanced purity.
V2O5 99.5% High-Purity Material
Premium grade used where superior purity is essential. Buyers should distinguish between typical assay values and guaranteed minimum specifications.
Physical Characteristics
Fused V2O5 flakes with thickness up to approximately 5 mm and maximum dimensions around 50 × 50 mm to 55 × 55 mm. For catalyst or chemical processing applications, confirm whether flake form is required as some processes may utilize powder or granular products.
Primary Applications
Chemical Processing
Industrial vanadium intermediate for production of vanadium-containing chemicals and chemical processing systems.
Metallurgy
Extensive use as feedstock for ferrovanadium and vanadium alloy production in metallurgical applications.
Catalyst Production
Essential component in catalyst manufacturing, with powder forms commonly associated with catalyst-related processing.
Technical Selection Guidelines
Optimal grade selection follows: Purity → Impurity Profile → Physical Form → Process → Final Application. For chemical and catalyst applications, trace impurities may be more critical than nominal V2O5 percentage. Metallurgical applications prioritize flake form and charge characteristics alongside chemical composition.
Quality Assurance
Comprehensive documentation includes Certificate of Analysis, Safety Data Sheet, Packing List, batch information, and inspection reports. For chemical and catalyst applications, request complete trace-element analysis where process requirements dictate.
Packaging Options
Commercial V2O5 flakes supplied in steel drums (200-250 kg) or bulk bags (1 MT) according to customer requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is vanadium oxide V2O5?
V2O5 is vanadium pentoxide, a commercially important vanadium oxide intermediate used in metallurgy and chemical applications.
What grades are available?
98% and 99% V2O5 flakes are well-documented commercial grades. High-purity V2O5 products can reach approximately 99.5% or higher depending on product form.
Can V2O5 flakes be used in chemical processing?
Yes. V2O5 serves as an industrial vanadium intermediate in chemical processing applications.
Can V2O5 be used to manufacture catalysts?
Yes. Vanadium pentoxide is used in catalyst production, though catalyst processes may require powder rather than metallurgical flake.
What is the main metallurgical application?
The principal metallurgical application of V2O5 flakes is ferrovanadium and other vanadium alloy production.
What is the difference between 99% and 99.5% material?
The 99.5% category represents higher V2O5 concentration, but buyers should confirm whether quoted values are guaranteed or typical and review complete impurity analysis.
What size are V2O5 flakes?
Published metallurgical specifications include approximately 50-55 mm maximum dimensions and up to 5 mm thickness.
What should buyers provide?
Provide grade, complete chemical requirements, physical form, size, quantity, application, destination, packing and documentation requirements.
