A native element; antimony metal is extracted from stibnite ore and other minerals. Used as a hardening alloy for lead, especially storage batteries and cable sheaths; also used in bearing metal, type metal, solder, collapsible tubes and foil, sheet and pipes and semiconductor technology.auxite ore is the main source of aluminum and must be imported from Jamaica, Guinea, Brazil, Guyana, etc. Used in transportation (automobiles), packaging, building/construction, electrical, machinery and other uses.

Since aluminum is such a pervasive metal in manufacturing, the ability to join it properly using an epoxy is crucial in the manufacturing process. There are many forms of aluminum that exist and some, such as anodized aluminum, can be difficult to bond. Additionally, aluminum is commonly alloyed with copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, and zinc. With proper handling and preparation, epoxy can bond well to most aluminums and aluminum alloys.
