Tungsten oxide (WO3) itself is not an explosive substance. It is an inorganic compound that does not spontaneously ignite or support the combustion process at ordinary temperatures.
However, it is important to note that tungsten oxide powder can be an explosive hazard under certain conditions. This is because factors such as particle size and concentration of tungsten oxide powder, build-up of electrostatic charge, and exposure to other combustible substances can affect its explosiveness.
Fine tungsten oxide powders are capable of forming combustible dust clouds that may explode in the presence of suitable oxygen concentrations and ignition sources. Such dust explosions can cause fires, high pressures and temperatures, causing personal injury, death and material damage.
Therefore, when handling and storing tungsten oxide powder, proper protective measures need to be taken, such as avoiding ignition sources, electrostatic discharge and dust emission, to reduce the potential risk of explosion. At the same time, follow the safe operating procedures and relevant regulations to ensure that the environment for storing and using tungsten oxide is safe.
To sum up, tungsten oxide itself is not an explosive substance, but tungsten oxide powder may be explosive under certain conditions. Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to safety measures when handling and storing tungsten oxide powder.
