Antimony pentoxide (Sb₂O₅) is a yellow, odorless powder that is slightly soluble in water. It is primarily used as a flame retardant synergist, enhancing the effectiveness of halogenated flame retardants in various materials. Additionally, it serves as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions and is utilized in the production of antimony-containing glass. Antimony pentoxide is a Flame Retardant Synergist.
