Sodium Metaantimonate
Versatile Antimony-Based Additive for Glass, Ceramics, and Catalysis
Sodium Meta-Antimonate is a high-purity, white crystalline powder used primarily in glass clarification, ceramic glaze opacification, and industrial catalysis. It offers high thermal and chemical stability, and excellent dispersion in molten glass and enamel systems.
Product Overview
Sodium Meta-Antimonate (NaSbO₃·xH₂O) is an inorganic antimony compound widely used as a clarifying and whitening agent in glass and ceramic production. It effectively removes microbubbles and color impurities during high-temperature melting processes.
With its stable oxidation state and high Sb content, Sodium Meta-Antimonate is also utilized in catalytic applications and specialty flame-retardant systems.
Key Features
High Antimony Content enables strong clarification and whiteness effects.
Excellent Thermal Stability up to 600°C.
Low Impurity Level suitable for precision glass and ceramic applications.
Broad Compatibility with silicates, borosilicates, and enamels.
Environmentally Safer alternative to lead-based whiteners.
Applications
Solar & Optical Glass
Functions as a clarifying agent to remove gas bubbles and enhance light transmittance.
Ceramics & Enamels
Acts as a white opacifier, creating uniform brightness and surface finish in porcelain and glaze.
Glass Wool and Fiberglass
Supports glass fiber clarity and stability in insulation applications.
Catalysis
Used in heterogeneous catalysts due to stable antimony oxidation state.
