The Element Antimony

This element is increasingly used in the production of semiconductors (diodes and infrared devices). Other industrial uses of Antimony includes, usage for batteries, for small arms and tracer ammunition, cable sheathing, antiprotozoan drugs in medicine and printing machines.

In Islam, the book of Muhammad’s life and doing reports the following; Muhammad said: “The best of your kohl is ithmid (antimony), for it makes the vision clear and makes the hair grow.” (There are two types of ithmid , male, and female, guessing it is the male kind he is talking about).

By 2005, China was the top producer of Antimony with about 84% market share.
