Antimony Trisulfide alias Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) is an inorganic flame retardant synergist preferably used in halogenated polymer systems such as PVC and ABS needs. Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) strengthens the thermal stability of plastics and reduces flammability by promoting char formation and slowing combustion. Also referred to as (Antimony vermilion, Antimony trisulfide, or Diantimony trisulfide) by Antimony Trisulfide manufacturers, it is supplied in technical grade for polymer additive applications. Stibnite is a mineral with formula of Sb3+2S2-3 or Sb2S3 and being a additive or catalyst, anti-blushing agent and heat stabiliser, and also as the flame-retardant synergist replacing antimony oxide. The IMA symbol is Sbn. We are the trusted Antimony suppliers worldwide, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.
