Manganese Dioxide, a black-brown solid, is a manganese molecular entity with formula MnO2. MnO2 known as pyrolusite when found in nature, is the most plentiful of all the manganese compounds. Manganese Oxide is is a inorganic compound, and high purity (99.999%) Manganese Oxide (MnO) Powder the primary natural source of manganese. Manganese Dioxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Manganese source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications.
