Antimony ingots category offers antimony in the form of bars. Antimony is a silvery-white with a bluish tint, coarse-grained and brittle metal. Due to its fragility, antimony is mainly used as an alloy component. It gives strength, hardness and corrosion resistance to alloys with lead, copper, and zinc.
In 2017, China produced 110,000 metric tons of antimony, Tajikistan - 14,000, Russia - 8,000, and Australia - 5,000. These countries are the main world antimony producers. China has the largest antimony deposits and manufactures 78% of global production.
The platform proposes antimony in the ingot form as it is easy to use. Besides, the semiconductor industry requires antimony with 99.995% - 99.99% high purity provided by ingots.
The antimony ingots’ supplies offer the average price of $ 5000-8000 per ton. Some providers of this category offer 1 kg as the minimum order the others estimate 1 ton and more. The major part of antimony ingots on the platform are of Chinese manufacturing.
The most extensive and traditional consumers of antimony ingots are the automotive, printing, chemical, and glass-ceramic industries. Besides, antimony is used for steel bluing, soldering, pyrotechnics, and medicine as well as semiconductors production.
