Application of Purple Tungsten Oxide in Ground Film

In agricultural production, ground film, as an important agricultural covering material, plays an irreplaceable role in increasing soil temperature, maintaining soil moisture, and promoting crop growth. However, with the development of agricultural modernization, the requirements for ground film materials are getting higher and higher. In recent years, a material called purple tungsten oxide has gradually become a new favorite in the field of ground film due to its unique physical and chemical properties.

Purple tungsten oxide (purple tungsten, VTO, WO2.72) is a variant of tungsten oxide, showing a fine crystalline powder ranging from dark purple to pure color. During the production process, this material is extracted from ammonium paratungstate by precisely controlling the temperature reduction state, and is mainly used to produce metallic tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powder. However, in recent years, the application of purple tungsten oxide in the field of ground film has gradually emerged.

The main role of purple tungsten oxide in ground film is to enhance the anti-aging performance of ground film. During the use of ground film, it will be affected by various environmental factors such as heat, oxygen, light, and water, which will cause material aging, thereby affecting its service life. Purple tungsten can effectively resist ultraviolet radiation and has good thermochemical stability, which can reduce the light aging of the ground film and extend its service life.

In addition to enhancing anti-aging properties, purple tungsten oxide can also improve the light transmittance of the ground film. The ground film needs to have good light transmittance to ensure that crops get enough light. Purple tungsten oxide performs well in improving the light transmittance of the material. It can allow more visible light to pass through, while blocking some harmful ultraviolet rays, providing a suitable growth environment for crops. This feature makes purple tungsten oxide ground film more advantageous in agricultural production.

In addition to being an important additive for the production of ground film, purple tungsten oxide can also be used to prepare near-infrared shielding materials, thermal insulation masterbatch, thermal insulation slurry, battery electrode materials, oxygen eliminator for vacuum equipment, etc.
