Ammonium Paratungstate（APT）is a white crystalline powder with CAS No. 11120-25-5. It features high purity and stable chemical properties, serving as an important intermediate in tungsten chemical processes.
APT can be easily converted into tungsten trioxide (WO₃) or blue tungsten oxide (BTO) powders and can also be used to produce tungsten carbide, ammonium metatungstate, and other tungsten compounds.
Applications and Uses: Ammonium Paratungstate (APT) is widely used in the production of cemented carbides, electronic materials, catalysts, and high-tech tungsten chemicals. It serves as a key raw material for tungsten trioxide, blue tungsten oxide (BTO) powders, metallic tungsten, and other tungsten compounds, supporting upstream and downstream processing needs within the tungsten industry.
Approximately 40% of applications are concentrated in tungsten products such as cemented carbide cutting tools, drill bits, turning tools, rollers, tungsten bars, tungsten wires, and tungsten electrodes. They are also widely used in high-temperature industries, aerospace, automotive, and construction coatings. In addition, APT is applied in flame retardants, radiation shielding materials, and various precision manufacturing fields.
Tungsten, as a high-hardness material, is widely used in various specialized applications within the defense industry.
Tungsten is widely used in the automotive industry for electrode spark plugs, aluminum batteries, and components related to electric vehicles.
Widely used in the electronics and semiconductor fields, including heat sinks, mobile phone vibration mechanisms, radiation shielding components, and flame-retardant materials for precision manufacturing.
Thanks to its high density, high-temperature resistance, and excellent shielding properties, tungsten is widely used in radiation shielding materials, radiotherapy accelerators, radiation protection equipment, and precision components for miniature medical devices.
