Antimony trioxide is also used as a flocculent in the production of titanium dioxide.Īntimony trioxide does not reacts directly as a flame retardant but is used as a synergist to enhance the activity of halogenated flame-retardants. Antimony trioxide can also be found in some of the speciality pigments. Antimony trioxide is also used as a pacifying agent in the processing of glass, enamels and ceramics.Īntimony trioxide is also being used as a catalyst in vulcanization of rubber and in production of polyethylene terephthalate. Generally antimony trioxide manufacturing process follows two steps, in the first step antimony trisulphide is reacts with ferrous chloride to form antimony trichloride, which is then hydrolysed to produce antimony trioxide.Īntimony trioxide is primarily used as a flame retardant in various industries such as plastics & polymers especially for wiring and cables, textiles, paper and coatings. Antimony trioxide is amphoteric in nature and is soluble in acids. Antimony trioxide is one of the prominent commercial compound of antimony. The demand for antimony trioxide is being driven by the increasing use of the substance as a catalyst and flame retardant across numerous sectors.Īntimony trioxide is an organic chemical compound, It can be found in nature in the form of minerals senarmontite and valentinite.
