AMG produces antimony trioxide from base forms of antimony metal. Antimony trioxide is primarily used as a flame retardant additive in rubber, textiles and plastics. It has been a key component in the growth of the use of plastics - all polymers - wherever protection against fire is needed, for the safety of people and installations, such as in infrastructure, aerospace, electronics and transportation. Antimony trioxide is also used as a opacifying agent for glasses, ceramics and enamels, a catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET plastic) and the vulcanization of rubber.
