Tungsten Carbide Catalyst Powder from Germany

Fine tungsten carbide powder serves as a heterogeneous catalyst in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and hydrocracking processes. Classified under HTS 3815.90.1000 as it consists wholly of inorganic tungsten compounds designed for reaction acceleration. Its high surface area enhances catalytic efficiency in petrochemical applications.

Import Tips

• Submit particle size analysis and BET surface area reports to confirm catalytic-grade specifications

• Include manufacturer specs showing use in reaction initiation, avoiding classification as mere metal powder

• Check for tungsten content purity; impurities may trigger reclassification under 2849
