Tungsten Trioxide and Powders That Shape Your World
Tungsten Blue Oxides

Technical Information Bulletin
Tungsten trioxide is a thermally stable and water insoluble tungsten compound. Tungsten trioxide and
Tungsten blue oxides are both used in the production of tungsten metal powders. Both products are
produced from internally manufactured ammonium paratungstate (APT).
Yellow tungsten trioxide is a finely divided, yellow, crystalline pow-
der. It is produced by roasting ammonium paratungstate at closely
controlled temperatures to drive off combined water and ammonia.
Yellow tungsten oxide is commonly
used in the manufacture of coars-
er tungsten carbide powders.
Tungsten blue oxides (TBO) are
finely divided blue-violet powders.
They are produced by heating am-
monium paratungstate at closely
controlled temperatures in a re-
ducing atmosphere. GTP produces
two standard grades differing mainly in oxygen content. Tung-
sten blue oxides are used primarily for the production of tungsten
metal powder and fine tungsten carbide as well as wire products.
Polyhedral Representation of WO3
Exact time and temperature control determines, to a large extent,
the physical properties of the tungsten oxide. Physical characteristics, impurity levels, or packaging,
other than our standards, can be discussed upon request by customer.
