Aluminum Hydroxide (ATH): A Reliable Flame Retardant Solution for the Cable Industry

Release time:2026-10-22 Visits:1


Enhancing Fire Safety. Reducing Smoke. Supporting a Greener Future.

In the cable industry, flame retardancy, smoke suppression, and material safety are essential considerations. As the demand for halogen-free and environmentally friendly cable materials continues to grow, Aluminum Hydroxide (ATH) has become an important flame retardant and smoke suppressant in cable compound formulations.

Why Choose ATH for Cable Compounds?

🔥 Excellent Flame Retardant Performance

ATH releases water when exposed to elevated temperatures, absorbing heat and helping reduce the temperature of the burning material. This mechanism contributes to flame retardancy in cable compounds.

🌿 Halogen-Free and Environmentally Friendly

As a halogen-free inorganic flame retardant, ATH is widely used in formulations for low-smoke, halogen-free cable materials, supporting the development of safer cable solutions.

💨 Smoke Suppression

ATH helps reduce smoke generation during combustion, making it a valuable component in cable applications where smoke control is an important requirement.

⚙️ Versatile Applications

ATH can be used in various cable and wire formulations, including low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) compounds, cable sheathing materials, and other polymer systems. The appropriate grade and loading level depend on the specific polymer, processing conditions, and performance requirements.
