A pure antimony can be identified by its silver-white color, purity, crystalline metalloid and characteristics, like brittle structure that is not easy to form.
Antimony is used to make flame retardant compounds.
Antimony is used to make useful alloys to increase mechanical strength and hardness.
For instance, it is used in alloying of lead that is used in acid batteries to improve charging features.
One can find this metal in more than 100 minerals, especially ones associated with mercury, silver, gold and other elements. It is mainly used in plastic and chemical industries as a trioxide additive.
A number of products can be produced using Antimony metal ingots, for instance lead-acid batteries and semiconductor devices. It also acts as a primary material of antimony oxide that is used as a fire retardant in household appliances, electronic devices and more.
