antimony trioxide
White fireproofing powder
Antimony trioxide is a white crystalline compound used primarily as a flame retardant in plastics, textiles, and electronics.
It works by interfering with combustion when combined with halogenated compounds.
The substance also serves as a catalyst in producing polyester and as a white pigment.
Classified as a possible carcinogen, its industrial handling requires precautions.
