Antimony is an important industrial raw material, widely used in military, aerospace, flame retardant and photovoltaic fields. However, constrained by mine safety and other factors, domestic antimony mining volume has basically stabilized in recent years, unable to meet downstream demand. And imported mines are also facing uncertainty, it is difficult to make up for the gap between domestic supply and demand.
In 2024, antimony trioxide saw a significant increase in price, due to a combination of several key factors. First, the rise in antimony prices was closely related to the trend of tight raw material supply. According to Shanghai Nonferrous Network, at the end of 2023, the domestic antimony ingot market price has obviously started to rise, including the price of antimony oxide, especially the export price has also recovered.In November 2023, China's imports of other antimony ores and their concentrates dropped sharply from the same period of the previous year, which showed the tight raw material supply situation.
Fire protection is a critical aspect of any building design, and it's essential to ensure that all safety measures are in place to prevent fires from spreading. One of the most effective ways to protect a building from fire is by using intumescent flame retardants in coatings and paints. These speci
