12. Por the Fabrication of Dice-boxes, etc.
An alloy of lead and antimony is used.
13. Miscellaneous Uses.
(a) If fluoride of antimony is heated with the sulphide, the sulphochloride
is formed. It is used in medicine, or as a corrosive and
macerating agent for wool.
(6) It has been proposed to use beurre tfantimoine in the manufacture
of matches without phosphorus.
(c) Oxide of antimony is used in the manufacture of artistic
abat-jour (lamp-shades) and reflecteur en verre jawne opaque (yellow
opaque glass reflector).
(d) Antimony salts, particularly combined with fibrocol,* are very
good antiseptics for incorporation with lime-wash and with the
paste t used in the papiers couches of painters.
(e) Thermo-electric couples.
