ANTIMONY = $$$$ FACTS

The natural sulfide of antimony was known and used in Biblical times
as medicine and as a cosmetic. Antimony in its elemental form is a
silvery white, brittle crystalline solid that exhibits poor electrical
and heat conductivity properties. Commercial forms of antimony are
generally ingots, broken pieces, granules, and cast cake. Other forms
are powder, shot, and single crystals. Estimates of the abundance of
antimony in the Earth's crust range from 0.2 to 0.5 parts per million.
Antimony is chalcophile, occurring with sulfur and the heavy metals,
lead, copper, and silver. Over a hundred minerals of antimony are
found in nature. Stibnite (Sb2S3) is the predominant ore mineral of
antimony.

The most important use of antimony metal is as a hardener in lead for
storage batteries. The metal also finds applications in solders and
other alloys. Antimony trioxide is the most important of the antimony
compounds and is primarily used in flame-retardant formulations. These
flame-retardant applications include such markets as children's
clothing, toys, aircraft, automobile seat covers and many others.
