🇵🇹 Export to Portugal

    Ammonium Paratungstate (APT) — Portugal

    Portuguese specialty chemical importers and the Portuguese tungsten mining sector — including buyers associated with the historic Panasqueira mine (operated by Beralt Tin & Wolfram, one of the world's oldest and largest underground tungsten mines) — source ammonium paratungstate (APT, WO₃ min. 88.5%, carbon max. 0.0010%) as a processed tungsten intermediate when Portuguese-mined wolframite concentrate is not available at the required specification for direct reduction. Panasqueira's wolframite concentrate is typically sold to European APT processors; Portuguese industrial buyers sourcing ready-made APT use imports from established exporters like Jayanth Tungsten. Supplied in 25 kg fibre drums with full ICP chemistry CoA and EU CN 2841 documentation.

    WO₃ ≥ 88.5%, −100 mesh standard ISO 9001:2015 CoA with every shipment

    Export questions

    What chemistry data is provided with APT shipments?

    Each lot's certificate of analysis states WO₃ content (min. 88.5%), carbon (max. 0.0010%), apparent density, and F.S.S.S. grain size, with the full impurity composition table as set out in our brochure available on request.

    Does Portugal have its own tungsten production, and why would Portuguese buyers source from India?

    Portugal does produce tungsten ore (Panasqueira is one of the world's largest tungsten mines), but finished W metal powder and WC powder for industrial use is still sourced internationally. Portuguese buyers source from Jayanth Tungsten for specific W powder grades (F.S.S.S., chemistry) not available locally, or to diversify supply alongside European processors. Full EU CN documentation, REACH SDS, and ISO 9001:2015 CoA with every shipment.
