ANTIMONY TRICHLORIDE is a yellow to orange crystalline solid with the chemical formula SbCl3. It is a highly reactive compound that is primarily used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of plastics, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. ANTIMONY TRICHLORIDE is also used in the production of flame retardants, as a mordant in dyeing textiles, and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. It should be handled with care, as it is corrosive and can cause skin and eye irritation.
