In the dynamic landscape of chemical additives, flame retardants play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of polymeric materials. For decades, Antimony Trioxide (Sb2O3) has been a cornerstone, primarily acting as a potent synergist when paired with halogenated compounds. Its ability to enhance flame retardancy through mechanisms like char formation and radical trapping has made it indispensable in industries ranging from electronics to construction. However, recent years have seen significant volatility in the Sb2O3 market, driven by supply chain disruptions, increased demand from emerging sectors like photovoltaics, and geopolitical factors. This has led many manufacturers to seek reliable alternatives and innovative solutions.

The price of antimony trioxide has seen unprecedented increases, creating substantial cost pressures for plastic compounders and manufacturers. This market instability, coupled with the ongoing drive for more sustainable and environmentally friendly materials, has accelerated the search for effective substitutes. While Sb2O3 remains highly effective, especially in specific high-performance applications, the industry is actively exploring halogen-free and antimony-free flame retardant systems. These alternatives often leverage phosphorus-based compounds, inorganic fillers, or advanced nanomaterials to achieve comparable, or in some cases, superior fire safety performance without the supply chain vulnerabilities associated with antimony.
