Aluminum hydroxide(ATH) is a widely used environmentally friendly inorganic flame retardant. It is non-toxic and produces low smoke during combustion, effectively inhibiting fire spread through endothermic reactions and the release of water vapor, while also serving a filling function. Its core applications are as a halogen-free flame retardant and smoke suppressant, added to various polymer materials to enhance their safety performance. Aluminum hydroxide possesses numerous advantages, including being halogen-free, complying with RoHS and REACH environmental requirements, being non-corrosive, non-leaching, and environmentally friendly, improving material hardness, rigidity, arc resistance, and resistance to tracking, being chemically stable at room temperature, non-volatile, non-migrating, and non-leaching, and having good compatibility with most resins and rubbers. However, its decomposition temperature is relatively low (starting at approximately 200℃), making it unsuitable for high-temperature processing of plastics (such as PA, PET, and PBT), its flame retardant efficiency is generally moderate, requiring high addition levels (usually above 30%), and it may affect toughness and flowability.
