Applications
Powder Metallurgy & Cemented Carbide (Core Application)
Primary raw material for producing pure tungsten powder, doped tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powder. It is further processed into tungsten rods, tungsten wires, cemented carbide tools, dies and wear-resistant parts. Its excellent reducibility ensures uniform grain size and stable performance of final tungsten products, being the most widely used intermediate in the tungsten processing industry.
Ceramic & Glass Industry
Used as high-temperature blue colorant for architectural ceramics, sanitary ware and craft ceramics. It also serves as functional additive for smart glass and heat-insulating coatings, endowing glass with electrochromic and near-infrared shielding properties, and is applied in energy-saving architectural glass and automotive window films.
Petrochemical & Catalytic Industry
Applied as desulfurization catalyst and photocatalyst in petrochemical refining and wastewater treatment. Its oxygen vacancy structure provides abundant active sites, improves catalytic reaction efficiency, and is also used as catalyst carrier for organic synthesis and environmental purification processes.
Electronic & Functional Material Field
Used to prepare gas-sensitive sensors for detecting toxic gases such as NO₂ and NH₃, with high sensitivity and low detection limit. It is also a core material for electrochromic devices, semiconductor thin films and ultraviolet shielding materials, widely used in electronic components and new energy fields.
Pigment & Coating Industry
High-performance inorganic blue pigment for high-temperature resistant coatings, anti-corrosion coatings and art coatings. It has excellent weather resistance, light fastness and high temperature stability, no fading under long-term outdoor exposure, suitable for harsh environment coating systems.
Other Industrial Applications
Used as functional additive for fire-resistant fabrics, X-ray shielding materials and high-temperature lubricants. It also serves as raw material for preparing nano tungsten materials and special tungsten-based functional materials in aerospace and national defense industries.
