Mo Molybdenum
SYPRA buys molybdenum (Mo): wire, crucibles, sheets, sintered parts, turnings and TZM alloys — analyzed and fairly compensated according to metal content.
Molybdenum (Mo, atomic number 42) is a high-melting metal that gives alloys extreme strength and heat resistance.
| Chemical Symbol | Mo |
| Atomic Number | 42 |
| Density | 10,28 g/cm³ |
| Melting Point | 2.623 °C |
| Boiling Point | 4.639 °C |
| Corrosion Resistance | Very good resistance to reducing acids; only corrodes in air above 400 °C. |
| Electrical Conductivity | 1,87 × 10⁷ S/m |
| Crystal Structure | Body-centered cubic |
| Mohs Hardness | 5,5 |
The price of Molybdenum is subject to fluctuations on international commodity exchanges. Since residues are rarely in absolutely pure form, we do not calculate the purchase price as a flat rate, but on the basis of the net metal content determined precisely through lab analysis.
| Material Category | Indicative Price / Price Range |
|---|---|
| Solid molybdenum scrap (sheets, crucibles, tubes) | 25,00 € – 50,00 € |
| Molybdenum rods | 25,00 € – 45,00 € |
| Molybdenum wire (used / new windings) | 30,00 € – 55,00 € |
| Production residues & molybdenum scrap | 16,00 € – 35,00 € |
| TZM alloy scrap (high-temperature components) | individual assessment |
The purchase prices shown are indicative only. The actual purchase price depends on purity, metal content, analysis, material form, quantity, and current market conditions. After the goods are received, we provide a free valuation and an individual offer.
The higher the percentage of pure Molybdenum, the lower the deductions for smelting and refining.
Accompanying metals are valued metallurgically; interfering elements increase processing costs.
For sludges, the loss on ignition (share of water, oils, emulsions) determines the real dry weight.
Larger quantities reduce the per-kilogram share of sampling and lab analysis costs.
The current world market price forms the basis of our calculation.
We determine the value of your batch using accredited lab methods: XRF, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS. Every complex batch receives a detailed lab report.
Molybdenum is classified by the European Commission as a critical raw material. Recycling {name} residues closes material cycles, drastically reduces the CO₂ footprint of your production, and secures European companies' access to secondary raw materials. By selling your residues, you contribute to the circular economy.
We don't just buy your material — we optimize your internal processes. Many industrial companies give away real money because they don't know the value of their production waste, or because valuable materials get lost in the disposal mix.

About Us
Since 1990, SYPRA GmbH has been an internationally active trading company focused on Europe, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. SYPRA METALS brings together the group's expertise in B2B buying, instrumental analysis, and the valuation of strategic metals — tantalum, tungsten, cobalt, niobium, hafnium, gallium, indium, and other special metals in any supply form.
01
Our success is built on reliable partnerships between Europe and Central Asia. Over three decades, SYPRA has built lasting relationships with producers, recycling companies, and industrial end users.
SYPRA METALS is the central platform for the professional buying of strategic metals: powders, turnings, sludges, capacitors, alloys, and complex industrial residues — valued by real metal content, not flat scrap prices.
02
Primary raw materials are finite. Through professional recycling, we recover high-quality secondary raw materials and reduce the need for energy-intensive primary extraction.
Our standard is high-quality recycling: through careful sorting, analysis, and processing, metals are reintroduced into industrial production processes — with as little quality loss as possible.
03
Recycling strategic metals is today a decisive contribution to climate protection, human rights, and biodiversity. We close material cycles for European industrial companies.
01
Increased recycling reduces the need for newly extracted raw materials and cuts back on energy-intensive mining and production processes.
02
More recycling reduces demand for new mining and can thereby indirectly help prevent child labor in hazardous mines.
03
Sustainable raw material extraction, recycling, and stricter environmental standards help protect biodiversity and habitats.
