Reliable
Sustainability is an integral part of our corporate strategy. With the help of our own technology, we obtain the majority of our raw materials through recycling. In addition, we have access to conflict-free primary raw materials through our owner Masan High-Tech Materials. The ongoing optimisation of processes and procedures helps to optimise the consumption of energy and auxiliary materials.

Since 2023, our German Site has been certified according to EMAS.

Our products for your sector
Thanks to its unique properties, tungsten is indispensable in many key industries. Here’s an overview of sectors that make use of high-quality products from H.C. Starck Tungsten Powders.

Mechanical engineering and toolmaking
High-performance tools are essential to mechanical engineering. By constantly increasing the tools’ precision and lifespan, toolmakers can ensure users an optimised workflow. H.C. Starck Tungsten Powders supplies the ultrapure, application-specific tungsten carbide powders this requires.

Automotive industry
The production technologies in modern car manufacturing require carbide tools, for example, when working on engine blocks or brakes. Our high-quality tungsten carbide powders are ideally suited for manufacturing tools for machining, forming and for metalworking in general.

Aviation
Ironically, the aviation industry, which rises and falls on lightweight construction, makes use of one of the heaviest metals of all. Thanks to their high density and strength, tungsten and tungsten alloys are used here in counterweights, anti-vibration parts for tailgates, and to balance out rotor blades.

Oil and gas industry
H.C. Starck Tungsten Powders develops and produces tungsten powders especially for use in oil and gas exploration. The technology metal is used not only in high-performance drill heads, but also in shaped charges that perforate the rock around a borehole so that oil and gas can flow out.

Chemical industry
Tungsten has many different applications in the chemical industry, especially in the area of catalysts. Oxidation catalysts are one example. And we know how to manufacture the right tungsten chemicals.

Medical technology
Medical technology uses tungsten to make equipment that performs better and conserves resources. Precision components made of tungsten are used, for example, in modern diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy to shield or focus harsh X-ray or gamma radiation.

Electrical industry
Tungsten-copper materials have a high thermal resistance combined with very good thermal and good electrical conductivity, which makes these materials suitable for applications in high-performance electrical switching contacts, such as heat sinks in the electrical industry, or for use as discharge electrodes.
