Metal hydroxides are the most commonly used family of Halogen
Free Flame Retardants. These mineral compounds are used in polyolefins, TPE,
PVC, rubbers, thermosets and can also be used in some engineering polymers
(such as polyamide). Aluminium trihydroxide (ATH) is selected when
processing temperature is under 200?. When processing temperature exceeds
200°C, Magnesium dihydroxide (MDH) is then required.
ATH and MDH are the FR of Choice for PVC
Replacement Applications with the Best Cost/Performance Balance
