Tungsten trioxide is mainly used for the production of tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powder by calcination reduction, and then for the production of cemented carbide products, such as the manufacture of cutting tools and molds. At the same time, it can also be used to manufacture pure tungsten products, tungsten bars, tungsten wires, tungsten electrodes; and shielding materials for counterweights and radiation. There is also a small amount of colorant used for yellow ceramics in industrial production. [3] In the shipbuilding industry, tungsten oxide of tungsten is used as an important anti-corrosion paint and coating material.
Handling and Storage
Precautions for operation: Closed operation, local ventilation. Prevent dust from being released into the workshop air. Operators must undergo specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter type Dust mask, chemical safety goggles, rubber acid and alkali resistant clothing, and rubber acid and alkali resistant gloves. Avoid generating dust. Avoid contact with Bromine pentafluoride and Chlorine trifluoride. Equipped with leakage emergency response equipment. Empty containers may have residual harmful substances.
Storage precautions: Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from sparks and heat sources. Prevent direct sunlight. Packaging sealing. It shall be stored separately from Bromine pentafluoride and Chlorine trifluoride, and mixed storage is strictly prohibited.
