Fire-Resistant Plastics for Auto Industry

Recently, an analyst from an investment bank indicated that the next greatest market for antimony-based fire retardant plastics would be the auto industry. Naturally, plastics are lighter than metals, but have an uncomfortably low flash point. Thus the addition of antimony trioxide.

Does anyone have specific information that would support the analyst's assertion?

This relates to the only domestic producer of these products: UAMY.OB.


Thanks

dogmeat stock. There's a 70cent spread and almost zero volume making it nearly impossible to realize any profit. 1 million shares and warrants were issued last week to private investors at a price lower than market value.

Naturally, when you google it all the scam report sites come up.

I wouldn't touch this stock.

Thanks Peter,

I appreciate your view on the strength of the stock- (and love your motto too) in many respects I agree. Nevertheless, for alternative reasons, I am still interested in the analyst's assertion that the market for the end product is destined to grow. HOW can this comment be made? - WHO does he talk to in the auto industry- is the information public?? I know it may be a matter of one's network, but if I don't ask.........

By the way, the analyst that made the assertion about a mysterious expansion of demand (based on the anticipated increase in supply) works at the very investment firm that underwrote the latest stock sale (GHS).

HMMMM......

I suppose. Plastic will burn, on its own, once ignited. The components oxidize or otherwise react; and in doing so, there are flames and there is heat given off - from the plastic's burning, so I guess that would be exothermic. So far as I know the antimony does nothing other than decrease flammability, maybe it lowers the ignition point. I doubt if it has anything much to do with the reaction, as there is not much of it involved.
