Application
Alumina Trihydrate is renowned for its flame-retardant and smoke-suppressant properties, making it a preferred choice in industries where safety and compliance are paramount. Key applications include: Flame Retardants: Incorporated into plastics, rubbers, and textiles to enhance fire resistance. When exposed to heat, ATH releases water vapor, reducing the material's temperature and inhibiting combustion. Fillers in Plastics and Polymers: Used as a filler and extender in the production of PVC, polyethylene, and other polymers, improving mechanical properties and cost-efficiency. Construction Materials: Added to building materials like adhesives, sealants, and coatings to improve fire resistance and durability. Paper Industry: Utilized as a coating pigment and filler to enhance brightness, opacity, and printability of paper products. Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care: Employed as an active ingredient in antacids and as a filler in creams and lotions due to its gentle, non-abrasive nature. Ceramics and Glass Manufacturing: Serves as a raw material in producing high-grade ceramics and specialty glasses, contributing to product strength and clarity. Water Treatment: Acts as a coagulant in water purification processes, helping to remove impurities and clarify water. By integrating our high-quality Alumina Trihydrate into their processes, manufacturers can achieve superior product performance, adhere to regulatory standards, and meet the evolving demands of the market.
