Physical Properties

Powdery substance Odorless Non-carcinogenic Contains thermal characteristic that provides translucency and whiteness to solid surface materials. Non-smoking, low-toxicity, halogen-free flame retardant.

Applications

Aluminum Trihydrate is used in various industries as:

• A raw material in the production of aluminum chemicals.
• A raw material in the manufacture of glass and glazes.
• A raw material in catalyst production.
• A flame retardant and smoke suppressant filler in plastics (for example: Cables, rubber products and carpet backing).
• A raw material for fertilizers, and fiber cement board products.
• An extender and bodying agent in paper, solvent- and water-borne paints, UV curable coatings, inks, and adhesives.
• A polishing and cleansing agent, mould wash and separating agent.
• A filler of cast polymer products such as onyx and solid surfaces.
