Antimony oxide (Sb2O4)(CAS: 1332-81-6)

Antimony oxide (CAS: 1332-81-6) is a chemical compound with the formula Sb2O4. It is a white or pale yellow powder with a slight antimony odor. Antimony oxide is insoluble in water but soluble in acid solutions.

Antimony oxide (CAS: 1332-81-6) is primarily used as a flame retardant in plastics and textiles, as a pigment, and in the production of glass and ceramics. It is also used in the manufacture of antimonial lead glass and as a component in some batteries.

Antimony oxide (CAS: 1332-81-6) is generally safe when used and handled properly. However, prolonged skin contact and inhalation of dust can be harmful. Protective measures include using gloves, goggles, and a respirator. It is important to avoid ingestion and exposure to high concentrations of dust or smoke.

Antimony oxide (CAS: 1332-81-6) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. The storage area should be well-ventilated to minimize the risk of dust accumulation and inhalation. Avoid storing near incompatible materials such as acids or reducing agents.
