Antimony in fabrics
The industry will say that although antimony is used as a catalyst in the production process, it is "locked" into the finished polymer, and not a concern to human health. And that's correct: antimony used in the production of PET fibers becomes chemically bound to the PET polymer so although your PET fabric contains antimony, it isn't ...
