For businesses in the plastics, textiles, coatings, and glass industries, Antimony Trioxide (ATO), or Sb2O3, is a chemical compound of significant importance. As a key flame retardant synergist, its role in enhancing fire safety across various materials cannot be overstated. Sourcing this critical additive requires a clear understanding of its properties, applications, and the benefits of partnering with a direct manufacturer.

Our company, a prominent manufacturer in China, specializes in producing high-grade Antimony Trioxide (CAS 1309-64-4). We understand that procurement managers and formulation scientists are constantly seeking reliable sources that offer consistent quality and competitive pricing. ATO's primary function is to amplify the effectiveness of halogenated flame retardants. This synergy is achieved through a chemical reaction at high temperatures, which forms antimony halides. These compounds interfere with the combustion cycle by trapping free radicals and creating a barrier against oxygen, thereby slowing or stopping the spread of flames.

The applications for Antimony Trioxide are widespread:

  • Polymer Industry: Essential for achieving flame retardancy in a multitude of plastics and resins, including PVC, polyolefins, and ABS, crucial for consumer electronics, automotive parts, and building materials.
  • Textile Manufacturing: Imparts fire resistance to fabrics, curtains, and specialized apparel.
  • Paints and Coatings: Used as an opacifying pigment to enhance brightness and durability, while also contributing to fire protection.
  • Glass Production: Acts as a clarifying agent, improving the clarity and reducing the refractive index of glass.

When you buy Antimony Trioxide, consider the advantages of direct sourcing. As a manufacturer, we offer greater control over product specifications, from purity levels (up to 99.8%) to particle size. This ensures that you receive a product perfectly suited to your specific formulation needs. Furthermore, direct engagement with a manufacturer often leads to more favorable pricing and a more transparent supply chain, mitigating risks associated with market volatility.
