Antimony Oxide Pellets

Antimony Oxide Pellets

Antimony oxide (Sb₂O₃) pellets have a variety of applications due to their unique properties, such as their use as a flame retardant, pigment, and catalyst.

Flame Retardants

Flame Retardant Additive: Antimony trioxide is widely used as a flame retardant in combination with halogenated compounds. It is used in materials such as plastics, textiles, and coatings to enhance their fire resistance and reduce flammability. It works by catalyzing the decomposition of halogenated flame retardants to produce non-flammable gases.

Glass Manufacturing

Glass Production: Antimony oxide is used in the manufacture of various types of glass, including high-quality optical glass and glassware. It helps in improving the clarity, strength, and chemical resistance of the glass.

Lead Glass and Crystal: In lead glass and crystal production, antimony oxide can be used to enhance the optical properties of the glass and improve its brilliance and color.

Ceramics and Pigments

Ceramic Glazes: Antimony oxide is used in ceramic glazes to achieve specific colors and effects. It can influence the finish and durability of the ceramic product.

Pigments: It is used in the production of pigments for paints and coatings.

 Catalysts

ytic Processes: Antimony oxide serves as a catalyst or catalyst support in various chemical reactions. It is used in the production of chemicals like antimony trisulfide (Sb₂OS₃) and other compounds, and in processes such as the oxidation of olefins.

Textiles

Textile Coatings: Antimony oxide is used in textile coatings to improve the flame resistance of fabrics. It is applied in fire-resistant clothing and materials for various industrial applications.

 Electronics and Semiconductors

Semiconductor Materials: Antimony oxide is used in the electronics industry, particularly in the production of certain semiconductor materials. It is used in devices that require specific electrical and optical properties.

Plastic and Polymer Manufacturing

Additives in Plastics: In the plastics industry, antimony oxide is used as an additive to enhance the fire resistance of polymers. It helps in improving the safety and performance of plastic products.

Ceramic Insulators

Insulation Materials: Antimony oxide is used in the production of ceramic insulators. It contributes to the high electrical insulation properties needed in electrical and electronic components.
