· JVASP-78430· MoN

Molybdenum nitride (MoN) is a hard ceramic compound combining molybdenum with nitrogen, belonging to the refractory metal nitride family. It is used primarily in wear-resistant coatings, cutting tools, and high-temperature structural applications where exceptional hardness and chemical stability are required. MoN is valued as a cost-effective alternative to tungsten carbide in some cutting applications and is of significant interest in catalysis research, particularly for hydrogen evolution reactions and other electrochemical processes.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
