The use of antimony dates as far back as 5000 years ago when ancient Egyptians used antimony-based chemicals to make eye shadows and medicines. By the middle ages, antimony was widely used in alchemy. Today, most antimony is used in the form of antimony trioxide (Sb2O3 for use as a flame retardant ingredient. Metallic antimony is used as an alloying agent to harden lead, to make pewter as well as in bullets and lead shot, while high purity antimony can be used as a semiconductor dopant.>
