Antimony oxides

HS v2022 Code: 282580

About antimony oxides

HS code 282580 covers antimony oxides, which are important compounds used in a variety of industrial applications. Antimony is a metalloid element that is primarily mined and produced in China, with smaller production centers in other countries. Antimony oxides are essential materials for the manufacturing of flame retardants, semiconductors, and specialized glass and ceramics, making them an integral part of the global chemicals and materials industry.

Production process

Antimony oxides are typically produced through the oxidation of antimony metal or antimony sulfide ores. The most common production method involves roasting antimony-containing ores in the presence of air, which converts the antimony into various oxide compounds. These oxides are then further refined and processed to meet the specific requirements of different end-use applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of antimony oxides include antimony-containing ores or metal, as well as energy sources (such as electricity or fuel) for the roasting and refining processes. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, reactors, and purification systems, are also necessary for the efficient and high-quality production of antimony oxides.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 282580 are various forms of antimony oxides, including antimony trioxide (282580 Antimony oxides), antimony pentoxide, and other antimony-based compounds. These outputs are then consumed by a range of industries, including 381700 Pyrotechnic articles for the production of flame retardants, 854389 Electrical machinery and equipment, not elsewhere specified or included for semiconductor applications, and 701990 Glass and glassware for specialized glass and ceramic formulations.
