Antimony Trioxide is a white crystalline powder widely used as a flame retardant synergist, particularly in combination with halogenated compounds for plastics, rubber, and textiles. With high purity (typically ≥99.5%) and excellent thermal stability, it effectively enhances fire resistance in materials like PVC, ABS, and electrical cables. Beyond flame retardancy, it serves as a catalyst in PET resin production and a clarifying agent in glass manufacturing. Our industrial-grade Sb2O3 meets international standards, including REACH and RoHS compliance, and is available in optimized particle sizes for superior dispersion. Proper handling is required as it is classified under UN3077 for transport.
