Antimony

Antimony, as a strategic industrial raw material, possesses a wide range of applications thanks to its unique properties. It is well-known for increasing hardness and durability when alloyed with other metals. It plays a vital role in the automotive industry within the plates of lead-acid batteries, in the manufacturing of military ammunition, and in the electrical-electronics industry. Furthermore, it serves as a coloring and hardening agent in glass and ceramics production, and as a flame-retardant additive in the battery, rubber, and plastics sectors. Today, antimony maintains its value as an indispensable element in advanced technologies and especially within the defense industry.
