Procurement decision
Start with the material form, not just the word “antimony”.
Ore, concentrate and metal are separate commercial offers. Each has its own assay basis, impurity profile, packing method, inspection need and pricing logic.
What to define before you ask for a price
- Material form: stibnite-bearing ore, concentrate or antimony metal.
- Target Sb assay, minimum acceptance level and dry- or wet-basis reporting.
- Maximum arsenic, lead, mercury, sulfur or other buyer-set limits.
- Trial quantity, recurring volume, shipment window and destination.
- Sampling party, laboratory, controlling certificate and dispute method.
- Packing, palletisation, Incoterm, origin evidence and document list.
Supply forms
Choose the form that matches your next processing step.
We review the requested form against processing route, quality evidence, packing and destination. Availability and final specification stay lot-specific.
Antimony ore
Ore inquiries suit buyers who need mineral source, Sb grade, mineralogy, moisture, particle size and beneficiation fit reviewed before processing or resale.
- Stibnite-bearing material
- Assay and mineralogy review
- Moisture and penalty elements
- Bulk, bag or FIBC packing
Antimony concentrate
Concentrate inquiries suit buyers whose acceptance depends on dry metric tonnes, Sb assay, moisture, arsenic, lead, sulfur, payability and sampling rules.

- Dry and wet weight alignment
- Penalty and deduction logic
- FIBC or agreed bulk handling
Antimony ingots
Ingot inquiries suit buyers who need purity, grade, dimensions, unit weight, lot traceability, palletisation and delivery basis confirmed up front.
- Purity and trace elements
- Lot or batch identification
- Bundle and pallet details
- Delivery basis confirmed early
Form comparison
Compare the same commercial basis before you compare price.
This table sets out procurement logic. It does not state guaranteed grades, universal packing or current availability.
| Buyer criterion | Ore | Concentrate | Ingots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary decision | Mineral source and beneficiation fit | Smelter feed and payable content | Metal purity and downstream alloy use |
| Main value basis | Sb assay, mineralogy and recoverability | Dry contained Sb and agreed payability | Purity and delivered metal weight |
| Moisture relevance | High | High | Not usually applicable |
| Typical controls | Sb, As, Pb, Hg, sulfur, size, moisture | Sb, moisture, As, Pb, Hg, sulfur, payability | Purity, trace elements, dimensions, lot identity |
| Evidence | Representative sample and assay | Sampling report, assay and moisture certificate | Lot-specific CoA or grade certificate |
| Packing review | Bulk, bags or FIBC | FIBC, liner, pallet and net weight | Bundles, pallets, straps and lot marks |
Specification logic
Work from buyer targets and lot results, not invented universal grades.
The final contract should state the test method, reporting basis, acceptance limits, sample identity and controlling certificate for the form you are buying.

| Unit weight and dimensions | Handling requirement | Lot-specific | Packing data and measurement | Per ingot or bundle |
| Traceability | Lot or batch ID | Marked lot | Label, CoA and packing list | Shipment lot |
| Packing | Pallet and securing rules | Shipment-specific | Packing plan and photographs | Shipment |
Indicative fields on this page do not confirm a shipment. Final values must come from a lot-linked certificate, an agreed sampling method and a written commercial offer.
Worked calculation
Normalise dry tonnes and contained Sb before you compare concentrate offers.
This calculator handles physical quantity only. It does not calculate payable value, treatment charges, penalties, freight, tax or inspection cost.
Dry tonnes and contained antimony
Enter the gross shipment weight, moisture percentage and Sb assay. The example starts with 100 tonnes, 8% moisture and 45% Sb.
Dry shipment tonnes
Contained Sb
Dry tonnes = gross tonnes x (1 − moisture / 100)
Contained Sb = dry tonnes x assay / 100
Contained Sb = dry tonnes x assay / 100
This is not the settlement amount. A contract may also apply payability, free deductions, treatment charges, impurity penalties, benchmark dates and umpire assay rules.
Applications
Application fit depends on form, chemistry and downstream process.
The word “antimony” does not establish suitability on its own. Tell us the intended process and technical standard before asking for a material recommendation.
Lead alloy systems
Selected battery grids and other lead alloys use antimony to adjust hardness and performance. Purity, trace elements and alloy composition must be confirmed for the intended use.
Flame-retardant routes
Antimony trioxide can act as a synergist in selected formulations. Specify oxide requirements directly rather than assuming ore or metal is a substitute.
Specialty metallurgy
Antimony is used in selected alloys and metal systems. Required form, grade and impurity limits depend on the production route.
Compounds and conversion
Processors may convert ore, concentrate or metal into downstream antimony compounds. Feed suitability needs a process-specific review.
Quality and inspection
Connect the sample, laboratory result and shipment lot.
A certificate is only useful when the material identity, sample ID, lot, method, reporting basis and issue date can be traced to the shipment you are buying.
Requirement review
Confirm form, Sb target, impurity limits, quantity, application, destination and documents.
Supplier and origin review
Check the legal counterparty, origin chain, processor, warehouse and proposed route.
Sampling plan
Define the lot, sampling point, increment count, composite preparation, seals and retained portions.
Laboratory review
Agree the analytical method, reporting basis, detection limits and laboratory role.
Commercial alignment
Set the controlling assay, allowable variance, penalties, payability and dispute mechanism.
Pre-shipment inspection
Check quantity, packing, labels, condition, container and required certificates.
Document release
Match the final invoice, packing list, origin evidence, transport record and inspection files.
Documentation matrix
Separate company proof, product proof and shipment proof.
Available documents depend on product form, origin, supplier, shipment stage and contract requirements. A company certificate does not replace lot-specific shipment evidence.
Company and counterparty
Registration, authority, bank details, address and due-diligence records.
Material evidence
Certificate of Analysis, assay report, Safety Data Sheet, specification, sample ID and lot reference.
Independent controls
Sampling report, laboratory report, weight certificate, condition record and inspection certificate when agreed.
Export and logistics
Commercial invoice, packing list, origin evidence, container and seal record, and transport document.
| Stage | Document | Buyer purpose | Control question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prequalification | Company registration | Confirm legal counterparty | Does the document identify the contracting entity? |
| Technical review | CoA or assay report | Review Sb, moisture and impurities | Does it identify the sample and lot? |
| Safety review | Safety Data Sheet | Support handling and classification | Does it match the actual product form? |
| Inspection | Sampling, weight and inspection records | Support quantity and quality verification | Who performed the work and under which scope? |
| Shipment | Invoice, packing list, origin and transport record | Support customs, payment and receipt | Do product, quantity, lot and destination agree? |
Packing and logistics
A realistic shipment plan is part of the offer.
A low product price is not comparable when packing, payload, inspection, freight, route, import requirements or document responsibility remain undefined.
Ore packing
Review bulk handling, lined bags or FIBC, net weight, moisture protection, loading method and route restrictions.
Concentrate packing
Review FIBC construction, liner, bag weight, palletisation, stacking, moisture protection and container payload.
Ingot packing
Review bundle size, unit weight, straps, pallet or skid, lot marks, securing and handling equipment.
Shipment controls
Confirm origin, destination, Incoterm, loading point, inspection point, container or bulk mode, schedule and document responsibility.
Commercial basis
What actually changes an antimony quotation?
The written offer should identify the pricing date, validity, material basis and included scope. Do not apply a refined-metal benchmark directly to ore or concentrate.
Quotation inputs
- Product form and target specification.
- Dry or wet basis, Sb assay and moisture.
- Penalty elements, payability and deductions.
- Trial quantity, recurring volume and delivery window.
- Origin, warehouse or loading point.
- Packing, inspection, freight and Incoterm.
- Payment terms, validity and repricing conditions.
Offer comparison rule
Compare offers only after normalising material form, dry tonnes, contained Sb, impurity limits, packing, inspection scope, freight basis, destination and quotation date.
Comparable basis = same form + same assay basis + same impurity limits + same Incoterm + same destination + same date
Historical or third-party market references are context only. They are not a live Pure Talcum selling price and do not replace a written shipment quotation.
Buyer risk matrix
Expose failure points before payment and loading.
The point is not to claim zero risk. It is to define the evidence and controls the actual transaction needs.
Wet and dry basis mismatch
Contained metal gets compared on different weight bases. Define the moisture method and settlement basis up front.
Generic or unmatched CoA
The report does not identify the shipment lot. Require a lot-linked sample and certificate.
Unclear origin or route
The seller cannot show the source, processor, warehouse or export chain. Review origin and route evidence.
Undefined sampling
The contract does not state who samples, where, or how disputes are handled. Agree the procedure before shipment.
Different analytical methods
Results may not be directly comparable. Define the method, laboratory and controlling certificate.
Unpriced logistics scope
Freight, handling, inspection or duty responsibility gets left out. Compare on the same Incoterm and destination basis.

Evidence should match the decision being made.
We can coordinate requirement review, supplier documentation, inspection scope and shipment preparation. Final evidence stays product-, lot-, origin- and contract-specific.
Requests are organised around specification, quantity, route, inspection and required files.
Company, product, inspection and shipment evidence are kept separate so you can see what each file proves.
Lot, sample, laboratory, packing and shipping identifiers are aligned where the contract requires it.
Third-party inspection, sampling, laboratory review and export-document needs can be defined before shipment.

Buyer questions
Antimony procurement FAQ.
These answers help you prepare the specification, inspection scope and shipment request.
Which antimony forms can Pure Talcum review?
We can review requests for antimony ore, concentrate and ingots. Tell us the required form, application, quantity, destination and documents — other antimony materials should be described explicitly rather than assumed available.
What Sb assay should a buyer specify?
The target depends on material form and downstream process. State the required minimum or range, dry or wet basis, analytical method and acceptance rule rather than relying on a generic product name.
How is moisture handled in a concentrate quotation?
Moisture affects dry shipment tonnes and contained Sb. The contract should state the moisture method, sampling point, maximum level and settlement basis.
Which impurities should be reviewed?
Common buyer-defined controls include arsenic, lead, mercury, sulfur and other process-specific elements. Limits and analytical methods must be agreed for the actual application.
Can third-party sampling and inspection be arranged?
Yes, inspection can be coordinated when required. The contract should define the inspector, location, scope, sampling method, laboratory, controlling certificate and dispute process.
Which documents may be available before shipment?
Depending on the material and stage, buyers may review a CoA, assay, Safety Data Sheet, origin evidence, packing data, inspection records and draft shipment documents. Availability must be confirmed for the actual lot.
How are dry tonnes and contained Sb calculated?
Dry tonnes equal gross tonnes multiplied by one minus the moisture fraction. Contained Sb equals dry tonnes multiplied by the Sb assay fraction. Final payable value may also include payability, deductions, penalties and charges.
Is a market benchmark the final shipment price?
No. A benchmark may refer to a different form, grade, location or date. A shipment quotation must state the material basis, origin, quantity, Incoterm, destination, inspection scope and validity.
What information do you need for a quotation?
Send the form, Sb target, impurity limits, quantity, schedule, application, packing, destination, Incoterm, inspection needs, document list and your company contact details.
Can an umpire laboratory be included?
Yes, when both parties agree. The contract should define retained samples, trigger conditions, laboratory selection, acceptable variance and how the umpire result affects settlement.
