What It Is Not
- SbCl3 is antimony trichloride, not antimony trioxide and not an antimony metal grade.
When Not to Use It
- Do not use SbCl3 when moisture exposure, hydrolysis, chloride contamination, or antimony restrictions cannot be controlled.
Intrinsic Screening Summary
- Identity screen
- SbCl3; White crystalline solid or colorless crystals
- Intrinsic feature
- Loba Chemie identifies antimony trichloride AR/ACS as SbCl3 with CAS confirmation required, white crystalline solid form, density data request required, and minimum pending approved assay.
