Antimony Metal
Description :
Overview of Antimony Metal
Antimony Metal is a brittle, silvery-white metalloid widely used in industrial and metallurgical applications. It is typically produced by smelting antimony ores or refining antimony-containing alloys to achieve high purity. Antimony is valued for its hardness, flame-retardant properties, and ability to alloy with lead, tin, and other metals.
In industrial applications, Antimony Metal is commonly used in lead-acid batteries, solder, alloys, flame-retardant materials, and specialized electronics. Its unique properties make it a critical additive for improving mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability in various industrial products. ChemicalBull supplies industrial-grade Antimony Metal, suitable for metallurgical, chemical, and electronic industries.
