Antimony and Its Uses
With Antimony,
We Are By Your Side in Every Aspect
of Your Life.
THE HIDDEN HERO OF SAFETY
Antimony, especially in the form of antimony trioxide, is used as a flame retardant in cables, electronic device casings, textiles, and insulation materials.
Thanks to this:
• Homes, cars, airplanes
• Electronic devices
Become safer against fire.
A CRITICAL ROLE IN ENERGY STORAGE
Antimony increases durability in lead-acid batteries.
These batteries are used in:
• Automobiles • Solar energy storage
• Industrial energy solutions
Antimony is indispensable for ensuring continuity in the energy cycle.
CONTRIBUTION TO TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
Antimony acts as a critical reinforcement in brake pads, clutch systems, and friction materials.
It maintains surface stability under extreme heat, improving braking distance, response time, and overall system durability.
From daily urban traffic to heavy-duty commercial vehicles, the engineering reliability behind controlled and safe braking is made possible by antimony.
STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE IN MODERN DEFENSE
In today’s military strategies, the availability of antimony is a critical factor for maintaining defense readiness and technological superiority:
Supply Chain Security – For defense industry manufacturers and military contractors, the uninterrupted supply of antimony is vital to prevent disruptions in production processes.
Technological Superiority – Advanced military technologies such as radar systems, night vision devices, and precision-guided munitions rely on components containing antimony.
Geopolitical Factors – Countries like China hold a dominant position in global antimony production and exports. This raises concerns about potential supply restrictions or the use of economic pressure during periods of conflict.
STRATEGIC AND CRITICAL MINERAL
The EU, the US, and many other countries classify antimony as:
• A critical raw material
• A strategic mineral
This is because it is both rare and irreplaceable in many industries.
ANTIMONY COMPONENTS
They are used in:
• Microchip technology
• Optical glass
• Infrared sensors
They are fundamental inputs for the defense industry and the electronics sector.
