As a Dongguan‑based trading enterprise with two decades of dedicated experience in flame‑retardant chemicals, Dongguan Guanwei Trade Co., Ltd. acts as the South‑China‑region agent for Chenzhou. Drawing on accumulated industry insights, the enterprise has expanded its business by building its own production plant and developing proprietary product brands. Supported by a mature and stable upstream supply chain, the company focuses on two flagship products: 99.8% environmental‑grade antimony trioxide and multi‑carrier antimony‑based masterbatches. It consistently delivers high‑quality antimony‑based flame‑retardant raw materials to modified‑plastic and injection‑molding manufacturers across the Pearl River Delta for materials including ABS, PVC, PA and PBT. Against frequent market fluctuations of antimony feedstock, Guanwei effectively mitigates supply risks caused by supply‑chain disruptions, and has become a highly‑reliable supplier of antimony‑based flame‑retardant raw materials for engineering plastics in South China.

Founded in 2006, the company started its business as an agent and distributor. Leveraging antimony‑sector experience, supply‑chain resources and customer base accumulated during the agency phase, it gradually extended its business toward in‑house production and built a complete portfolio of flame‑retardant products. Its core offering is 99.8% environmental‑grade antimony trioxide. Meanwhile, it independently develops and produces antimony trioxide masterbatches compatible with various resin carriers such as PE, PP, PBT, PA, SAN, PS, EVA and PVC. It also supplies a full range of supporting products including nano‑sized antimony trioxide, high‑purity antimony trioxide, antimony glycolate, sodium antimonate, as well as flame‑retardant additives such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, zinc borate, MCA, BDP, titanium dioxide masterbatch, decabromodiphenyl ethane, brominated polystyrene, brominated epoxy resin, bisphenol‑S bis(2,3‑dibromopropyl) ether, and epoxidized soybean oil, enabling one‑stop procurement for flame‑retardant raw materials.


Different from ordinary generic commodities on the market, the antimony trioxide supplied by Guanwei follows internal corporate standards stricter than national standard GB4062‑98, with heavy‑metal impurities strictly controlled below 5 ppm. All products have passed SGS compliance tests, and can fully meet synergistic flame‑retardant requirements for new‑energy vehicles, electronic appliances, PVC cables, photovoltaic industries and other sectors. In recent years, tightening antimony‑resource supply and volatile market prices have plagued many small‑and‑medium‑sized modified‑material manufacturers with supply shortages and inconsistent product quality. Drawing on well‑established long‑term upstream sourcing channels built over more than 20 years, Guanwei maintains thousand‑ton‑level ready‑stock inventory. Adopting 25 kg standard packaging, it supports flexible full‑truck and less‑than‑truck‑load deliveries to guarantee uninterrupted production for downstream customers and eliminate concerns over raw‑material shortages.

Antimony trioxide delivers no independent flame‑retardant performance; it serves as an indispensable synergistic additive for halogen‑based flame retardants. When compounded with decabromodiphenyl ethane or brominated polystyrene, it generates antimony halide radical scavengers at high temperatures to cut off oxygen supply and interrupt combustion chain reactions, raising the limiting oxygen index of materials by more than 30 %. Guanwei refines product specifications for diverse downstream application scenarios. Nano‑sized antimony trioxide features fine particle size and excellent dispersion within plastic matrices, eliminating defects such as white specks, migration and blooming, and is suitable for modified compounds for high‑end home appliances and precision electronics. 99.8% environmental‑grade antimony trioxide strikes a balance between purity and cost, covering most rubber‑and‑plastic modification demands. Fire‑process‑grade products highlight cost‑effectiveness for common pipes and filler masterbatch production. The self‑developed antimony trioxide masterbatches resolve dust hazards from powder feeding. Featuring good compatibility with plastic substrates, they can be directly fed into processing machines, simplifying production workflows and improving workshop working conditions.

The Pearl River Delta represents China’s core industrial cluster for modified plastics. Cities including Dongguan, Shenzhen and Foshan host over one thousand ABS, PA and PVC modification manufacturers, with annual consumption of antimony‑based flame retardants exceeding 100 000 tons. Guanwei has assembled a professional technical‑service team providing 7‑by‑12‑hour response. Beyond raw‑material supply, it delivers supporting formulation technical support: for materials such as ABS, PA, PBT and PVC, it optimizes the mixing ratio between antimony trioxide and brominated flame retardants to achieve UL94 V‑0 flame‑retardant rating while preserving mechanical properties including impact resistance and weatherability. Its products enjoy broad application scope, covering not only modified injection‑molded plastics but also rubber, paints, textiles, chemical fibers, glass, ceramics, electronics and other industries.

Company executives state that the enterprise will further strengthen upstream raw‑material partnerships, expand antimony‑product stockpiles, and focus on customized multi‑carrier antimony trioxide masterbatch services. Relying on its full‑range masterbatch lines for PE, PP, PBT, PA, SAN, PS, EVA and PVC, the company helps customers skip powder blending procedures to cut costs, reduce dust emissions and boost production capacity, while continuously expanding its catalogue of flame‑retardant additives. Having evolved from a regional agent to an operator with self‑owned plant and proprietary brands, Guanwei Trade will keep leveraging its comprehensive strengths including ample spot inventory, complete specifications, controllable quality, supporting technical services and flexible delivery. Upholding service principles of stable quality, high cost‑performance and fast delivery, the company is fully committed to empowering the steady development of the rubber‑and‑plastics manufacturing sector across South China.
