The description and applications of 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. Upon melting, it can be used to strengthen and harden other metals.

Antimony Ingots have high corrosion and oxidation resistance and are ideal for conducting various chemical processes. 

They are among the least expensive metallic forms of Antimony and are frequently used for general applications.

Applications:

1.Alloyed with lead to improve hardness and mechanical strength. 

2.Applied in batteries, plain bearings and solders. 

3.Frequently used in metallurgy, electronics, ceramics, paints and rubber.

4.Used as a stabilizer, catalyst, and pigment in various applications.

5.Used as a flame retardant synergist.
