Zirconium Tungstate (Zirconium Tungsten Oxide) (Zr(WO4)2)-Powder

Characteristic

Zirconium tungstate (Zr(WO₄)₂) is a metal oxide with unusual properties. The phase formed at ambient pressure by reaction of ZrO₂ and WO₃ is a metastable cubic phase, which has negative thermal expansion characteristics, namely it shrinks over a wide range of temperatures when heated.

Chemical formula：Zr(WO₄)₂

Molar mass：586.92 g/mol

Appearance：white powder

Density：5.09 g/cm³, solid

Solubility in water：negligible

Application

Tungsten zirconate is widely used in metal matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites, cement matrix composites and polyamide resin composites.
