Alloy manufacturingLead-acid batteries: In lead-acid batteries, antimony can form an alloy with lead to make anode grids. Adding antimony can improve the mechanical strength and hardness of lead, enhance the corrosion resistance of lead grids, make it more stable during battery charging and discharging, extend the service life of the battery, improve the performance and reliability of the battery, and is widely used in automobiles, electric vehicles, backup power supplies and other fields.
Babbitt alloy: It is an alloy used to make sliding bearings. Adding antimony to tin-based or lead-based babbitt alloys can form hard and wear-resistant antimony-tin compounds, improve the hardness, strength and wear resistance of the alloy, enable it to better withstand the friction and pressure between the journal and the bearing, reduce wear, and improve the service life and working efficiency of the bearing. It is often used in bearing parts of various mechanical equipment.
Other alloys: In some other alloys, such as tin alloys, zinc alloys, etc., 99.9 antimony ingots can also be used as additives. Adding antimony to tin alloys can improve their strength and hardness; adding antimony to zinc alloys can improve the casting properties and mechanical properties of the alloys.Chemical industryFlame retardant production: 99.9 Antimony ingot is an important raw material for the production of antimony oxide, which is a highly efficient flame retardant. It can work synergistically with other flame retardants such as halogens. When materials such as plastics, rubber, chemical fibers, coatings, and textiles burn, a dense protective film is formed on the surface of the material through a series of chemical reactions to prevent oxygen from contacting the material and inhibit the combustion, thereby improving the flame retardant properties of these materials. It is widely used in building materials, electronic appliances, automotive interiors and other fields that require fire safety.Catalyst: Antimony compounds such as ethylene glycol antimony are a novel catalyst that plays an important role in polyester polycondensation reactions. It can increase the rate and efficiency of polyester synthesis reactions, make the reaction proceed more smoothly, and help produce high-quality polyester products for the manufacture of polyester fibers, polyester films, polyester plastics, etc.Chemical intermediates: It can be used to synthesize other antimony compounds. These compounds are used as intermediates in chemical production to manufacture chemical products such as pigments, dyes, medicines, and pesticides.Electronic information fieldSemiconductor materials: used to prepare III-V compound semiconductors such as InSb, Bi₂Sb, and GaSb. These compound semiconductors have unique electrical and optical properties and can be used to manufacture electronic devices such as infrared detectors, Hall elements, and magnetoresistive elements. They have important applications in military, aerospace, security, industrial detection and other fields.Doping elements: As a doping element for single crystal silicon and single crystal germanium, by controlling the doping concentration of antimony, the electrical properties of silicon and germanium, such as resistivity and carrier concentration, can be accurately changed, thereby manufacturing semiconductor devices with different performances, such as diodes, triodes, integrated circuits, etc., which are the basis of modern electronic information technology.Other fieldsPhotovoltaic industry: In the production of photovoltaic glass, the antimony compound sodium pyroantimonate can be used as a clarifier to remove bubbles and impurities in the glass, improve the transparency and quality of the glass, and thus improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells.Fireworks manufacturing: Antimony sulfide and other compounds can be used in the manufacture of fireworks, which can make fireworks produce unique colors and effects and increase the ornamental value of fireworks.
Enamel and ceramic industry: It can be used as an additive in the production of enamel and ceramics to improve the properties of enamel and ceramics, such as improving their hardness, glossiness and corrosion resistance. It can also be used as a component of pigment to give enamel and ceramic products various colors.Common packaging methodsWooden box packagingStructure: Generally, wooden boards with uniform thickness are used to build wooden boxes. The size of the wooden boxes is customized according to the size and quantity of antimony ingots. They are usually rectangular in shape, and some buffer materials such as straw and sawdust are used for padding and isolation inside.
Advantages: Wooden boxes have certain strength and stability, which can better protect antimony ingots from collision and extrusion damage during transportation and storage. At the same time, wood is relatively light and easy to load and unload and carry.
Application scenarios: It is suitable for packaging antimony ingots for long-distance transportation and export, and can adapt to different modes of transportation, such as sea transportation and land transportation.Iron barrel packagingStructure: Iron barrels are made of iron plates with moderate thickness. The barrel body is generally cylindrical and has a sealed barrel cover. Some anti-rust treatment may be performed inside the iron barrel, such as spraying anti-rust paint.
Advantages: Iron barrels have good sealing and moisture resistance, which can effectively prevent antimony ingots from contacting with air, moisture, etc., and avoid oxidation and rust. At the same time, the iron barrel is highly sturdy and can withstand certain pressure and impact.
Application scenarios: For some antimony ingots with high requirements for moisture resistance and sealing, especially in humid environments or ocean transportation, iron barrel packaging is more suitable.Pallet packagingConstruction: The antimony ingots are neatly stacked on the pallet, and then fixed and tied with plastic film or steel belts. Pallets are generally made of wood, plastic or metal, and are mostly rectangular in shape.
Advantages: Pallet packaging is convenient for mechanized loading and unloading and handling, which can improve logistics efficiency and reduce labor intensity. At the same time, through reasonable stacking and fixing, the stability of antimony ingots during transportation can be guaranteed.
Application scenarios: It is widely used in domestic short-distance transportation and warehousing links, and is often used for transportation from factory to warehouse, warehouse to user enterprise, etc.
