Molybdenum Foam Applications

Catalyst Carriers: Molybdenum foam has a high specific surface area and good electrical conductivity, making it an ideal catalyst carrier, especially at high temperatures and in corrosive environments.
Filtration Materials: Molybdenum foam can be used for efficient filtration and is suitable for filtration systems for gases and liquids.
Battery Electrode Materials: Molybdenum foam is also used in battery electrode materials.
Thermal Management Materials: The high thermal conductivity of molybdenum foam makes it suitable for thermal management applications such as heat sinks and heat exchangers.
Acoustic Materials: Molybdenum foam is also used in acoustic materials.

Molybdenum Foam Packaging

The Molybdenum Foam is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional support from soft materials to prevent any shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
