At Puretalcum, we supply high-grade Antimony Ore with Sb content ranging from 40% to 70%, catering to diverse industrial applications. As a leading supplier in Dubai and the UAE, we are committed to delivering consistent quality and reliability to our clients worldwide.
Antimony is a strategic metalloid, typically extracted from the mineral Stibnite (Sb₂S₃). Known for its silver-gray appearance, high melting point, and brittle texture, antimony plays a critical role in the production of metal alloys and industrial compounds.
Properties of Antimony
Chemical Formula: Sb (primarily from Sb₂S₃ – Stibnite)
Appearance: Silvery-gray and metallic
Melting Point: 630.63°C (1167.13°F)
Density: 6.697 g/cm³
Hardness: Brittle, crystalline solid
Reactivity: Forms useful compounds with chlorine, oxygen, and sulfur
Alloying Capability: Improves hardness and mechanical strength of metals
These unique properties make antimony highly desirable for enhancing material performance in demanding applications.
Applications of Antimony
Antimony is widely used across multiple industries due to its versatility and functional benefits:
- Flame Retardants: Used in plastics, textiles, and electronics to enhance fire resistance when combined with halogenated compounds.
- Lead-Acid Batteries: Strengthens lead plates in automotive and industrial batteries, increasing durability and performance.
- Alloy Manufacturing: Used in alloys with lead, tin, and other metals to improve hardness, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength.
- Electronics & Semiconductors: Used in diodes, infrared detectors, and other components for its semiconducting properties.
- Ceramics and Glass: Acts as a fining agent in glass and an opacifier in ceramic products.
- Pigments & Paints: Utilized in certain pigments due to its chemical stability and vibrant coloration.
