Antimony oxide is primarily used in conjunction with a halogen to form a synergistic flame retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings, and paper. Its antimony oxide is also used as a color fastener in paints; as a catalyst for the production of polyester resins for fibers and films; as a catalyst for the production of polyethylene phthalate in plastic bottles; as a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs; and as an opacifier for porcelains. Sodium antimonite is used as a fining agent for glass in cathode ray tubes, and as a flame retardant; antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance by the military.
Fastmarkets MB reported on March 25, 2021 that the price of antimony had risen by 73% in the first quarter.
