Antimony is a chemical element with the symbol Sb and atomic number 51. It is a brittle, silvery-white metalloid that is commonly found in nature as a sulfide mineral called stibnite. Antimony has a variety of uses in different industries.
In the supply class Chemicals, antimony can be found in various forms such as antimony trioxide (Sb2O3), antimony pentoxide (Sb2O5), antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3), and antimony pentasulfide (Sb2S5). These compounds are used in the production of flame retardants, ceramics, glass, and pigments.
Antimony compounds are also used in the manufacturing of batteries, particularly in lead-acid batteries, where antimony is added to the lead plates to improve their strength and durability. Additionally, antimony is used in the production of semiconductors, as a catalyst in the production of polyester, and as a component in various alloys.
It is important to note that antimony and its compounds can be toxic, so proper handling and disposal procedures should be followed when working with them.
