What is antimony tin oxide? What is its purpose?

Antimony tin oxide is a mostly off-white and blue powder. The body has chemical resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, light resistance, organic solvent resistance, non-oxidation, flame retardant, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and good mechanical stability.

Antimony Tin Oxide Nanopowder

Compared with other conductive fillers, antimony tin oxide specially prepared into nano-ATO slurry is added to the coating resin matrix, so that the coating has the energy-saving function of reflecting infrared rays, and it has become a new product and film company developed by coating companies and glass companies. Compared with traditional conductive fillers, ATO nano conductive powder has very significant advantages as a new type of permanent conductive powder. In order to obtain excellent ATO nano powders, it is required that ATO nano powders have the characteristics of small primary particle size, less agglomeration, and low powder bulk density.

Overview of antimony tin oxide ATO powder

Antimony tin oxide, also known as antimony-doped tin dioxide, is abbreviated as ATO. It is a non-resistive transparent conductive material in the semiconductor field. It can be used in various glasses, plastics, and various resins, so as to play a transparent, conductive, anti-static radiation, ultraviolet, and infrared blocking role. Tin oxide antimony conductive nanomaterials have broad application prospects in many fields due to their high conductivity and light color transparency. This is a new type of functional material that has developed rapidly in recent years.

Antimony tin oxide ATO powder is a world-recognized excellent material with a series of unique properties. They show good electrical conductivity in antistatic applications and have good infrared absorption capabilities. Strong absorption of near-infrared light occurs, and transparency in the visible light range can be maintained in the film.

ATO (Antimony Tin Oxide) is a highly insoluble, thermally stable source of aluminum suitable for glass, optical and ceramic applications. Antimony tin oxide is one of the most commonly used transparent conductive oxides because it has two key properties, including optical transparency and conductivity. These characteristics are very important for photovoltaic devices including solar cells and flat-panel displays.

The current technology of forming particulate and nano-particle tin oxide and using an acid medium to provide a surface coating, however, it has become very important to coat an acid-sensitive material with a nano-particle doped antimony tin oxide (ATO) film.

The antistatic coating is the main application market of nano ATO powder. The nano-composite transparent antistatic coating can be prepared by adding nano-ATO powder as a conductive filler to the matrix resin (such as polyamide and acrylic) and selecting an appropriate dispersion method. Since carbon black was generally used in the previous conductive fillers, they are not as good as ATO powders in terms of color control.

Application of antimony tin oxide ATO powder

Adding direct nano-scale ATO powder during fiber spinning, the key is the compatibility of inorganic nano-scale ATO with fiber materials, and special dispersing additives need to be added;

Add nano-level ATO or textile auxiliaries in the dyeing process of raw materials (such as wool tops and polyester yarns) to complete dyeing and functionalization in one step;

Add nano-level ATO textile auxiliaries during the dyeing or finishing of grey fabrics.

Nano ATO powder has a small particle size, good compatibility with plastics, and light color, which expands the application range of conductive powders on plastics. Conductive ATO can be made into plastic additives, or plastic conductive masterbatch can be made into conductive plastic. If the ATO particles are large, they will have a certain negative impact on the production of conductive plastics. Therefore, there is a need for ATO raw materials with the smallest possible particle size. Other applications of antimony tin oxide include:

1. Antimony tin oxide nanoparticles show excellent electrical and optical properties.

2. Antimony oxide can be used in optoelectronic display devices and flat panel display devices, such as LED, LCD, and ECD.

3. Antimony oxide can also be used in solar cells and transparent electrodes.

4. The high conductivity of antimony oxide makes it suitable for use as an antistatic material in coatings, chemical fiber, and polymer film industries.

5. Antimony tin oxide nanoparticles also show high heat resistance.

6. Antimony oxide can be used to shield the heat in buildings or glass and hot mirrors.

7. Antimony oxide can also be used in automobile glass and aircraft glass to prevent fogging and frosting.

8. Antimony tin oxide nanoparticles have the characteristics of reducing microwaves.

9. Antimony oxide can be used in areas that need to be shielded from electromagnetic waves. These areas include computer rooms and radars.
