China is a major producer of antimony, and some U.S. policymakers have worried about being overly dependent on China as a source. The mineral’s uses include flame retardants, batteries, night-vision goggles and nuclear weapon production, according to a 2021 U.S. International Trade Commission report.
LONDON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - China's announcement of antimony export restrictions has added fuel to a red-hot market and opens another potential flash-point with the West for control of critical minerals. Antimony is a little-known metal with multiple applications.
If gallium and germanium are anything to go by, expect a collapse in outbound antimony shipments once the new rules come into effect on Sept. 15, followed by a weak recovery in volumes. Chinese exports of the two chip metals fell by 74% and 63% respectively in the first quarter on a year-on-year basis.
Last year Beijing flexed its metallic muscles with similar restrictions on exports of gallium, germanium and graphite in a tit-for-tat response to U.S. controls on exports of advanced semiconductor chips to China. Nor is antimony likely to be the last strategic metal to be weaponised for a potential trade war with the West.
The U.S. remains critically dependent on China for antimony. It consumed 22,000 tons of antimony products in 2023. Domestic production amounted to just 4,000 tons, mostly in the form of antimonial lead recovered from spent lead-acid batteries and absorbed back into the battery chain.
