Used as a corrosion inhibitor in cooling water systems, protecting metal surfaces by forming a protective oxide layer. Commonly added to industrial water treatment formulations to prevent rust and degradation in steel and copper alloys. Employed in agriculture as a micronutrient source of molybdenum for plants, correcting deficiencies in soils to support nitrogen fixation and overall crop health. Utilized in biochemical and microbiological research as a source of molybdenum in enzyme studies and bacterial growth media. Also incorporated into coatings and pigments for its stability and anti-corrosive properties.
