Antimony And Antimony Compounds

About Antimony and Antimony Compounds

Antimony is a metalloid. In its metallic form it exhibits a silvery appearance, is hard and brittle. It is used in the electronics industry for the manufacture of certain semiconductor devices such as infrared detectors and diodes. Manufacturers alloy it with lead or other metals to increase its hardness and strength.

Antimony fluorides represent an insoluble form intended for applications where oxygen is not desired, for example in metallurgy, chemical and physical gas phase deposition and in certain optical coatings. Antimony is also available in soluble forms, including chlorides, nitrates and acetates. These compounds are produced as solutions in defined stoichiometric ratios.
