In thermoplastic compounds -- like wire, cable and hoses -- flame retardancy (FR) is paramount. Magnesium hydroxide ingredients by Huber deliver superior FR functionality and can be processed at higher temperatures than Alumina trihydrate.

 

 

 

 

Huber Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH)

Flame retardant and smoke suppressant for higher processing temperatures

While ATH is an effective flame retardant/ smoke suppressant for many resins, there are limits to its use. The main limitation resutls from its thermal stability in applications where processing temperatures exceed 220 degress Celcius (626 degress Fahrenheit.) Hence the development of magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2 as a flame retardant. MDH functions in the same manner as ATH, however, there is one important difference: it undergoes endothermic decomposition with water release at 330 degrees Celcius (626 degrees Fahrenheidt.)
