Antimony(III) Oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Sb2O3. Antimony Trioxide is an industrial chemical and also occurs naturally in the environment. It is the most important commercial compound of antimony. It is found in nature as the minerals valentinite and senarmontite. Antimony Trioxide is a chemical used in the manufacture of some polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, which is used to make food and beverage containers. Antimony Trioxide is also added to some flame retardants to make them more effective in consumer products, including upholstered furniture, textiles, carpeting, plastics, and children’s products.

What is Antimony Trioxide used for?
Antimony Trioxide is primarily used in combination with other compounds to provide flame retardant properties. The main application is as flame retardant synergist in combination with halogenated materials. The combination of the halides and the antimony is key to the flame-retardant action for polymers, helping to form less flammable chars. Such flame retardants are found in electrical apparatuses, textiles, leather, and coatings. Antimony(III) Oxide is also an opacifying agent for glasses, ceramics and enamels. It is a useful catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET plastic) and the vulcanization of rubber.
