Aluminum Hydroxide (ATH) – Environmentally Friendly Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Solution
Release time:2026-07-29 Visits:0
High Performance Aluminum Hydroxide for Flame Retardant and Functional Material Applications
Aluminum Hydroxide (ATH, Al(OH)₃) is one of the most widely used environmentally friendly inorganic flame retardants in the world. With excellent smoke suppression performance, low toxicity, and good processing compatibility, ATH plays an important role in plastics, cables, rubber, coatings, and composite materials.
Weifang Wanfeng New Material Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in the production and supply of high-quality Aluminum Hydroxide with stable chemical properties, controlled particle size distribution, and excellent application performance. Our ATH products provide reliable solutions for customers seeking safe, efficient, and sustainable flame retardant materials.
Advanced Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Material
As a halogen-free flame retardant, Aluminum Hydroxide works through an endothermic decomposition mechanism.
When exposed to high temperatures, ATH releases chemically bound water, absorbing a large amount of heat and reducing the surface temperature of the material. At the same time, the generated alumina layer acts as a protective barrier, slowing down flame propagation and reducing smoke generation.
Key advantages:
Halogen-free and environmentally friendly
Low smoke emission
Low toxicity
Excellent flame retardant efficiency
Good electrical insulation properties
Stable chemical performance
Excellent Performance Advantages
1. Superior Flame Retardant Performance
Aluminum Hydroxide provides effective flame resistance for polymer materials by:
Absorbing heat during decomposition
Diluting combustible gases
Forming a protective ceramic-like layer
Reducing flame spread
It is widely used in applications requiring high fire safety standards.
2. Excellent Smoke Suppression Capability
Compared with many traditional flame retardants, ATH generates very low smoke during combustion.
It helps reduce:
Smoke density
Toxic gas release
Fire hazards
Making it suitable for applications where safety is critical.
3. Good Electrical Insulation Properties
Due to its excellent electrical characteristics, ATH is widely used in:
Cable compounds
