The market for antimony has a diversified and established ecosystem comprising upstream players, such as raw material suppliers and downstream stakeholders, manufacturers, vendors, and end users of antimony, as well as various government organizations. Leading players operating in the antimony market include AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group (Netherland), Mandalay Resources (Canada), United States Antimony Corporation (USAC) (US), Korea Zinc (South Korea), and Recyclex (France).

Major Market Developments

In May 2018, United States Antimony Corporation progressed on the construction of the leach plant for the Los Juarez gold-silver-antimony deposit in Queretaro, Mexico. It is one of the largest and most expensive projects operated by USAC. Testing and shake-down of the plant is anticipated in Q4 2018.
In June 2017, Tri-Star Resources Plc along with Strategic & Precious Metals Processing LLC (SPMP) has signed a multi-year agreement with Traxys Europe SA to supply antimony and antimony gold concentrates to its Oman Antimony Roaster. The agreement provides SPMP access to the global expertise provided by Traxys on minor metal concentrate sourcing and supply chain logistics management
In April 2017, specialty chemicals company LANXESS acquired the US-based company Chemtura, one of the world’s leading suppliers of flame retardant and lubricant additives. The acquisition would help the company increase its production of flame retardant materials and make it easily available to its customers..

Flame Retardant

Flame retardants are used for reducing the hazardous effect of fire mishaps. Flame retardants stop the fire by interacting with the fire cycle in the gaseous phase and stop the chemical chain reaction. Antimony trioxide often works in synergy with halogenated flame retardants. These flame retardants are used in flame retarding furniture, mattresses, fabrics, plastics, circuit boards, and wiring.

Lead Acid Batteries

Antimony is used as an alloying agent with lead in certain parts of a battery where strength, corrosion resistance, and creep resistance are required. Antimony provides strength to lead and simplifies and speeds up the casting of grids. They are used in some countries in automotive batteries. However, the use of antimony in automotive batteries is declining owing to high maintenance and emergence of new technologies such as lithium-ion battery.

Plastic Additives

Plastics additives are chemicals which are used to polymerize, process, or to modify the properties of plastics. Antimony is used as stabilizer and catalyst in plastics additives

Antimony is used as a stabilizer in many common plastics that are susceptible to degradation by heat and ultraviolet light (UV). For instance, antimony is used as a stabilizer in PVC production. PVC is used in commodity plastics, food wrap, water bottles, artificial leather, toys, electrical wire & cable insulation, and drainage and water supply pipe. Antimony mercaptides are used as heat stabilizers for PVC.

Antimony in the form of trioxide or triacetate is used as a polycondensation catalyst in the polymerization of PET. PET is used widely in commodity plastic used in bottles, films, food packaging, and many other products. It can also be used with germanium dioxide, as catalysts for PET.

Glass & Ceramics

Antimony is used as a fining agent/decolorant/antisolarant for high-quality transparent glass. For this application, antimony is used in the form of antimony oxide and sodium antimonate. They are used in the display screen of cathode ray tube (CRT) used in computers and television receivers. Antimony is also used as an opacifier in the ceramic industry.
