Antimony(V) oxide(Cat No.:M047380), also known as antimony pentoxide, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Sb2O5. It appears as a white, powdery solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in acidic solutions. This oxide of antimony is primarily used as a flame retardant in plastics, textiles, and coatings due to its ability to form antimony trioxide and release water under high heat, thereby helping to quench flames. Additionally, antimony(V) oxide is utilized in the production of glass, ceramics, and pigments, and as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions.
