Antimony

Key Applications of High Grade Antimony Ingots

High grade antimony ingots play a vital role in various industries due to their unique properties. They primarily serve as flame retardants in plastics and synthetic fabrics, helping to reduce flammability and enhance safety. In addition, antimony compounds improve the durability and lifespan of these materials.

Essential Use in Metallurgy

Antimony is widely used as a hardening agent in lead and tin-based alloys. It significantly strengthens lead acid battery plates, improving their conductivity and lifespan. Furthermore, antimony enhances the wear resistance of bearing (Babbitt) alloys and adds desirable properties to pewter, making it more robust for practical applications.
