Huber Fire Retardant Additives.pdf

? Treated and Untreated Grades of Alumina Trihydrate (ATH) and Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH) ? Molybdate Complexes ? Non-Halogen ? Unsurpassed Technical Service Both ATH and MDH are non-halogen containing compounds. When exposed to heat, these metal hydroxides decompose to form water molecules in an endothermic reaction. This results in reduced flame spread and smoke generation. The graph above shows that MDH decomposes at a higher temperature than ATH, making it useful for engineering thermoplastic resins such as polyamides and polypropylene. 0 110 100 90 80 70 60 100 200 300 400 500 600 W ei gh t L os s (% ) Temperature ( ?C) MDH ATH Comparing ATH and MDH 2 Physical Property Comparison of ATH and MDH Huber’s Non-Halogen Flame Retardants and Smoke Suppressants: In A Class By Themselves When it comes to high performing, non-halogen fire retardant additives, Huber Engineered Materials is the only name you need to know.
