ANTIMONY (metal) POWDER 99% - 100 gm

Description

Antimony powder by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Antimony is a chemical element found in nature mainly as the sulfide mineral, stibnite. Antimony is stable in air at room temperature, but will react with oxygen if it is heated, and will produce antimony trioxide. Elemental antimony is a brittle, silver-white shiny metalloid. CAS No.: 7440-36-0 Quantity Provided: 100 gm per bottle Molecular formula: Sb Atomic weight: 121.75 Assay: minimum 99.5 % Available as powderAntimony has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. Approximately 60% of antimony is consumed in flame retardants, and 20% is utilized in alloys for batteries, plain bearings, and solders. It is also used as a stabilizer and a catalyst for the production of polyethyleneterephthalate. Antimony compounds are used as antiprotozoan drugs, where antimony based treatments are referred to antimonials. A derivative, Antimony(III) sulfide is used in the heads of some safety matches. This reagent has a nourishing or conditioning effect on keratinized tissues in animals. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
