China is the dominant global exporter of antimony tetroxide (CAS 1332-81-6), accounting for the vast majority of international shipments, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea are the leading importers. Antimony tetroxide prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from flame-retardant and ceramic pigment applications. Export volumes from China have shown modest growth over the past three years, while imports by the U.S. and EU members have remained largely stable, reflecting consistent industrial usage and limited substitution.
Antimony tetroxide (Sb₂O₄) is a white to off-white, odorless, crystalline powder that is non-volatile and thermally stable up to approximately 650 °C, above which it decomposes to antimony trioxide and oxygen. It is an inorganic metal oxide, specifically a mixed-valence compound containing both Sb(III) and Sb(V). Primarily used as a flame retardant synergist—especially in combination with halogenated compounds—it enhances the efficiency of flame-retardant systems in polymers, textiles, and rubber. Its principal applications are in engineering plastics, polyolefins, polyesters, and elastomers, where it contributes to improved fire resistance without significantly compromising mechanical properties.
