antimony pentoxide
Desperate for antimony pentoxide. Not available on ebay. Available from various Chinese companies. Anyone know how these transactions work? They ask
for name of my company. I don't have a company.

What do you need it for? Make your own (for small quantities)?

Polish zlottis convert well to most currencies. This looks pretty cheap to me.
edit:
great company. I have had several very good transactions. Others on SM have also had a good experience.

I purchased Sb2O5 from Onymet. Perfect service. Keep in mind though that Sb2O5 is amazingly inert. I am quite disappointed, not by Onyxmet, but by the
strong inertness of this chemical. I could not manage to have it reacted in strong alkali, nor in strong acid. Not even boiling solutions are capable
of dissolving the material.

I got mine from a pottery outlet, presumably intended as pigment/opacifier for glazes.
I haven't actually done anything with it yet. But I will try and fuse it with an excess of ('pure') KOH. One day...
