Antimony Description

Antimony is a bluish-white brittle metal. It has low thermal and electrical conductivity. Antimony is stable in air at room temperature, but forms antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) if heated.

Sb Metal

Antimony Application

The main use of antimony is as a flame retardant synergist. Additionally, it is often alloyed with lead to improve hardness and mechanical strength and applied in batteries, plain bearings and solders. Moreover, antimony is seen as a stabilizer, a catalyst and as a pigment in various applications.
