Antimony's atomic number is 51 and its symbol is Sb. Elemental antimony does not pose many serious effects on human health. However, once in compound form, this substance can be both toxic and carcinogenic. It is a very shiny and brittle metalloid that has been used since ancient times. It used to be used in medicine and cosmetics, but today its most common use is to produce flame retardants. It is also alloyed with other metals in products such as lead-acid batteries, solders, and bullets. The antimony in these cubes was obtained in pellet form and each cube contains several pieces of this element. The sample is contained within crystal clear Lucite acrylic.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.

Proudly made in the U.S.A.

Great gift!

This was a gift for my high school chemistry teacher and she absolutely loved it. Very unique and creative. Certainly not something she already has and she’s been teaching for over 30 years. Nice job guys!
