In the periodic table, antimony (chemical symbol Sb) may not be as glittering as gold and silver, nor as well-known as iron and copper. However, this slightly bluish, silvery-white metal is an indispensable "unsung hero" in modern industry. It has unique properties and is rarely used alone, but as an alloying additive and chemical raw material, its presence is felt in every corner of everything from safety facilities to high-tech products.

Within polymers like plastics, textiles, and electronic device casings lies an invisible fire risk. To mitigate this risk, scientists and engineers have enlisted an efficient "guardian" – antimony trioxide. While non-flammable itself, its true power is unleashed in tandem with other flame retardants, particularly halogenated ones. So, how does this seemingly ordinary "white powder" perform its fire-preventing magic?

Antimony is an important strategic metal with unique physical and chemical properties, such as hardness and brittleness, and its ability to shrink when heated and expand when cooled. It's known as the "industrial MSG."

Antimony is a key strategic metal known for its heat and corrosion resistance, earning it the nickname "industrial MSG."

Antimony (Sb) is a strategic metalloid with critical applications across multiple industries, including flame retardants, lead-acid batteries, semiconductors, and military technologies. As global demand for energy storage and fire-resistant materials grows, the flame retardant Antimony trioxide powder market has seen significant fluctuations in recent years.

Antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) is an important industrial compound with a wide range of applications. It is primarily used as a flame retardant, but it also has uses in ceramics, glass manufacturing, and catalysis.

Flame retardants are chemical additives that delay or inhibit the combustion of materials and are widely used in plastics, rubber, textiles, and electronic devices. Antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) is a highly effective inorganic flame retardant, often used in conjunction with halogenated flame retardants (such as bromine- or chlorine-based compounds) to significantly enhance the flame retardancy of materials.

Antimony, a lustrous gray metalloid, has been used by humans for thousands of years. Today, it plays a crucial role in various manufacturing industries due to its unique properties, including flame resistance, hardness, and alloy-forming capabilities.

Antimony (Sb), a metalloid element with unique chemical and physical properties, plays a critical yet often underappreciated role in the electronics industry.
