Applications in thermoplastics
Fire retardancy
For thermoplastics with a processing temperature below 200°C aluminum hydroxide (ATH) is an ideal halogen-free fire retardant. Example polymers are PE, EVA, PVC, TPU, TPE, EPDM, etc. The decomposition temperature of magnesium hydroxide (MDH) of 330°C makes MDH ideal for use in thermoplastic systems that need to be processed at higher temperatures, such as PP, PA, etc. Huber Advanced Material’s product line includes a variety of surface-treated ATH and MDH grades with surface treatments tailored to the selected polymer system.
Smoke suppression
Kemgard® smoke suppressants with molybdate technology do not decompose at standard processing temperatures, making them an excellent choice for nylon applications.
