The price for other antimony derivatives will also increase depending on antimony content.
The price increase for antimony trioxide reflects increases in the London Metal Bulletin (LMB) value for antimony metal and its impact on the cost of finished antimony derivatives.
Further tightening of raw material supply is expected through the balance of the year.
Antimony trioxide, sold under the trade names TMS, Timonox, Trutint and Microfine, is used as a synergist, along with brominated flame retardants, in flame retardant polymer formulations widely used in electrical and electronics applications.
Antimony trioxide is also an effective flame retardant in high performance PVC applications.
