Why Choose Neugen Labs for APT
What Is Ammonium Paratungstate?
Ammonium Paratungstate is the crystalline ammonium salt of paratungstic acid and the central intermediate produced when tungsten ores are refined. It is described as the most important raw material for all other tungsten products. On controlled heating, APT decomposes to tungsten oxides, which are then hydrogen reduced to metallic tungsten powder. Because the purity of the final tungsten powder is governed largely by the purity of the starting APT, trace metal control at this stage is critical for demanding applications such as cutting tools, sputtering targets and aerospace alloys.
Properties of APT
APT is a white crystalline powder that is only slightly soluble in cold water and insoluble in alcohol. It is stable under normal room temperature storage and decomposes on heating (around 600 °C) to yield tungsten trioxide. Its controlled crystal morphology gives good flowability for precise dosing, while its predictable decomposition behaviour supports uniform conversion into tungsten oxides and, ultimately, tungsten metal and carbide.
Uses & Applications
APT is the starting point for most of the tungsten supply chain. The main application areas we supply APT powder for are outlined below.
1 Tungsten Metal Powder
2 Tungsten Carbide (WC)
3 Tungsten Oxides
4 Catalysts
5 Electronics & Advanced Materials
6 Aerospace & Alloys
