Other Information
Melting point established under the absence of oxygen.Density differs with crystalline structure.Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.The recommendations on this card do not apply to vapour exposure during the production.The technical product may contain impurities which alter the health effects; for further information see ICSC 0013 Arsenic.According to special provision SP45, antimony trioxide is not regulated for transport unless it contains more than 0.5% of arsenic. In that case it should be classified as UN number 1549 (Hazard class 6.1 and packaging group III).TLV Note: Exposure by all routes should be carefully controlled to levels as low as possible.

Antimony is a chemical element with the symbol Sb (from Latin: stibium) and atomic number 51.
A lustrous gray metalloid, it is found in nature mainly as the sulfide mineral stibnite (Sb2S3).
Antimony compounds have been known since ancient times and were powdered for use as medicine and cosmetics, often known by the Arabic name, kohl.Metallic antimony was also known, but it was erroneously identified as lead upon its discovery.
Antimony is a member of group 15 of the periodic table, one of the elements called pnictogens, and has an electronegativity of 2.05. In accordance with periodic trends, it is more electronegative than tin or bismuth, and less electronegative than tellurium or arsenic.
Oxygen is the chemical element with the symbol O and atomic number 8, meaning its nucleus has 8 protons.
Oxygen is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table, a highly reactive nonmetal, and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as with other compounds.
Dioxygen is used in cellular respiration and many major classes of organic molecules in living organisms contain oxygen, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and fats, as do the major constituent inorganic compounds of animal shells, teeth, and bone.
Oxygen was isolated by Michael Sendivogius before 1604, but it is commonly believed that the element was discovered independently by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in Uppsala, in 1773 or earlier, and Joseph Priestley in Wiltshire, in 1774.
