Flame Retardant — Ultrafine Aluminum Hydroxide
Aluminum hydroxide (ATH) is a white amorphous powder. It is an amphoteric hydroxide. Ultrafine aluminum hydroxide is stable at room temperature. It does not produce secondary pollution during combustion. It has high whiteness and excellent color properties. Nano-sized ATH increases the limiting oxygen index of flame-retardant polymers. It improves flame retardancy. It enhances surface smoothness, mechanical strength, and electrical properties. It improves resistance to leakage current, arc resistance, and wear resistance. ATH works well when compounded with other flame retardants. It is synergistic, non-volatile, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. It is abundant and low-cost. Therefore, it is widely used as an inorganic flame retardant. Advantages of Aluminum Hydroxide Flame Retardants Ultrafine aluminum […]
