RTF-100 & RTF-101 flame retardants offer a safer, cost-effective alternative to antimony trioxide (Sb2O3)

RTF-100 & RTF-101 flame retardants offer a safer, cost-effective alternative to antimony trioxide (Sb2O3)

Antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) has long been a crucial component in flame retardant formulations, widely used across industries like automotive, electronics, and construction. While it effectively slows down combustion and reduces smoke production, challenges such as rising costs, supply chain instability, and environmental concerns have pushed manufacturers to seek better alternatives.

What is Antimony Trioxide (Sb2O3)

Antimony Trioxide (Sb2O3) is a widely used flame retardant additive that enhances the fire resistance of plastics, textiles, and coatings. However, limited mining sources, increasing costs, and health hazards have driven industries to explore safer, more sustainable solutions.

Why Are Industries Moving Away from Sb2O3?

Antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) has been a staple in flame retardant (FR) applications, but its drawbacks have become increasingly evident:

●     Supply Chain Risks – The global supply of Sb2O3 is heavily dependent on China, leading to uncertain availability and price volatility.

●     Rising Costs – Export restrictions and increasing demand have caused exponential price hikes, affecting manufacturers worldwide.

●     Health & Environmental Concerns – Sb2O3 is classified as a hazardous substance, prompting industries to seek non-toxic alternatives.

With these challenges in mind, manufacturers are actively searching for a high-performance, cost-effective replacement.
