The main uses of antimony ingots include serving as a hardener for alloys in industries such as metallurgy, batteries, and military, as well as being a raw material for the production of antimony oxide. In addition, antimony ingots are also used in industries such as movable type printing, lead materials, cable sheaths, soldering materials, and sliding bearings.
In industrial applications, antimony ingots are often used as flame retardants, especially in plastics and textiles; Antimony alloy is commonly used in the anode grid of lead-acid batteries in battery manufacturing; In glass manufacturing, sodium pyroantimonate is used as a glass clarifying agent; Ethylene glycol antimony is the main catalyst for industrial preparation of polyester compounds. In addition, antimony is widely used in high-tech fields such as infrared coating market and doping market.
