What is Tungstentrioxide?
Tungsten Trioxide is a powder crystal of a yellowish-light triclinic color. If the temperature rises above 740degC it becomes orange tetragonal-shaped crystals that return to its original form after cooling. It is stable when in air with a melting and boiling point above 1750degC.
The most stable form is tungsten trioxide. It is insoluble with water and other inorganic acid except hydrofluoric. It can be dissolved into a hot, concentrated sodium hydroxide mixture and ammonia in order to create soluble tungstate. It can be oxidized by H2 at temperatures above 650 and oxidized by C when temperatures are between 10001100.
Tungsten Trioxide Application:

Tungsten Trioxide is widely used in the daily life. The tungstate is commonly used in the production of industrial X-ray screens phosphors, and in fireproof fabrics. Due to the yellow pigments it contains, tungsten is used as a paint and ceramic pigment.
Tungsten Trioxide was used to produce electrochromic and smart windows. These windows are the glass for the electric switch, as well as the light transmission performance and applied voltage change. It is possible to tint windows by changing the amount of light or heat.
Some tungsten oxide can be used to make chemical products like paints and coatings or petroleum industry catalysts. The tungsten-oxide intermediate is used to create metal tungsten powders and tungsten carbide powders. These are used later in the manufacture of metal tungsten items. Cemented carbide of different grades and uses are produced.

Tungsten Trioxide, due to its outstanding electrical and thermal properties, is widely used as a semiconductor electronic package.
