Lingotto di antimonio 99,65%

Antimony ingot at Sb ≥ 99.65% is a refined cast metal supplied in ~25 kg ingots for metallurgical and chemical conversion. Antimony hardens soft metals and acts as a flame-retardant synergist in halogenated systems: in lead alloys it raises strength and casting fluidity, while as a trioxide precursor it reacts with the halogen source to form antimony halides that scavenge H· and OH· radicals in the gas phase and interrupt flame propagation. Primary uses are antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) feedstock, lead-acid battery grid alloys, flame-retardant masterbatch chemistry, and bearing or pewter alloys. Lead-antimony grids typically run 1.5-3% Sb for cycling durability; bearing babbitts carry roughly 7-15% Sb for hardness and load capacity. The 99.65% grade with controlled residuals — As ≤ 0.10%, Fe ≤ 0.05%, Pb ≤ 0.10%, S ≤ 0.06% — keeps trioxide whiteness and battery-alloy behavior consistent by limiting elements that promote gassing or discolor the oxide. Each lot ships with COA and MTC, drawn from multi-regional sourcing into Gebze bonded stock with CIF Marmara delivery and 20 MT FCL options. Send your target grade and tonnage for an RFQ.

Domande frequenti

How does Sb 99.65% compare with higher-purity antimony grades, and when is it the right choice?
Sb 99.65% is the standard commercial metallurgical grade, with As ≤ 0.10%, Pb ≤ 0.10%, Fe ≤ 0.05% and S ≤ 0.06%. It suits trioxide feedstock, battery alloys and bearing metals, where downstream refining or alloying tolerates these residuals. Choose tighter grades (99.85%+ or 4N) only when As and Pb must be lower, for example fine-particle flame retardants or semiconductor-adjacent uses. Request the COA to confirm As and Pb against your spec.
What addition rates apply when using this antimony in alloys?
Rates depend on the target alloy, not a single figure. Lead-acid battery grids typically run roughly 1.5-3% Sb in lead-antimony alloys for grid hardening and castability; bearing and pewter alloys use higher fractions per the alloy spec. As a trioxide feedstock the ingot is fully consumed in oxidation, so there is no dosage rate. Set your addition from the finished-alloy chemistry and melt-loss allowance, then verify with a melt sample.
How is the ingot packaged, and what are typical order quantities and delivery terms?
Supply is in cast ingots of about 25 kg, bundled and strapped on pallets for container loading. Order sizes scale from LCL part-loads to 20 MT FCL, drawn from multi-regional sourcing. We quote CIF Marmara or ex Gebze bonded stock, with lead time set per quantity and incoterm at order. Share your destination, quantity and required incoterm and we confirm packing list and delivery window against the live position.
What documentation and testing back each lot?
Each lot ships with a COA reporting Sb, As, Fe, Pb and S against the 99.65% specification, plus an MTC where the application requires traceability. Assay is by recognised wet-chemical and instrumental methods (ICP-OES / AAS for trace elements). On request we arrange third-party inspection or sampling at load port. State whether you need lot-level or shipment-level documentation so the paperwork matches your import and QA requirements.
If I need the oxide or a different form, what alternatives exist?
For flame-retardant and PET-catalyst use, antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) is the finished-oxide route and removes in-house oxidation. Where lower As or Pb is specified, a higher-purity refined grade is the substitution rather than this commercial grade. For master-alloy needs, lead-antimony or tin-antimony alloys may be sourced to your ratio. Tell us the end use and target chemistry and we map ingot, oxide or alloy form to the fit.
