Antimony is a chemical element and exists in both metallic and non metallic forms. The metallic form is bright silver and brittle material. Non metallic form of antimony is gray powder. Antimony is a stable element in dry air and is inert toacids and alkalis. Antimony expands on cooling and is a good conductor of electricity and heat. Antimony is among the oldest known element to mankind and has been used for varied applications since 4000 BC.
Antimony is available in a variety of formats and styles. Elemental antimony is present in a relatively small amount. This product is unavailable at this time. This product is compatible with: antimony with sulfur, lead, silver and copper.Stibnite is the most used antimony in the world. Owing to large reserves and cheap and abundant labor available in China, China dominates the global antimony production. Antimony is also recycled from lead acid batteries, recycled antimony is among other major sources for antimony and is fast gaining acceptance as an easy source of antimony.

Metallic antimony is brittle in nature and therefore has to be combined with other metals or alloys for high strength applications. Antimony trioxide is the commonly used compound of antimony for a variety of commercial applications such as production of plastics, rubber, textile, pigments, glass, etc. Antimony is widely used with Antimony is also widely used in lead acid batteries. Other application of antimony includes production of low friction applications, flame proofing materials and glass among several others. Major end user industries of antimony include cars, paints, building and construction and defense among others.
Flame retardants followed by lead acid batteries dominate the global demand for antimony the trend is anticipated. Increasing demand for flame retardants in several end user industries is as long as it is necessary for antimony curing The forecast period. Major end user industries for antimony include consumer goods. Therefore, the growth of the economy is not a problem. Exposure to antimony poses severe health hazards including breathing disorders, skin irritation, and lung cancer among others. Antimony also has a number of environmental hazards which have led to a number of regulations to regulate antimony consumption.
