Product Description
Aluminium trihydrate (ATH) is a white, fine powder material. It is a naturally occurring mineral which is found in bauxite ore, and is made up of hydrated aluminium oxide and water molecules. It is used in a wide range of applications, including as a flame retardant, filler, pigment, absorbent, and bulking agent. It is also used in the manufacturing of plastics, rubber, coatings, adhesives, and detergents. ATH is non-toxic and non-hazardous, and it is also capable of absorbing water, which makes it an effective moisture-managing agent.
Exceptional Flame Retardant FillerAluminium Trihydrate (ATH) is widely recognized for its outstanding flame retardant capabilities. When exposed to high temperatures, ATH releases water vapor and forms an insulating barrier, effectively reducing flammability in plastics, rubber, and paper products. Its stable, non-toxic properties make it a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking both safety and reliability in their end products.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsATH's unique properties, including high whiteness, non-toxicity, and fine particle size, make it ideal as a filler and pigment across various industries. It enhances the quality and durability of plastics, rubber, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, glass, and ceramics. Additionally, ATH is favored in water treatment processes and as a filler in health and beauty products due to its inert and stable nature.
FAQ's of Aluminium Trihydrate (ATH):
Q: How is Aluminium Trihydrate (ATH) typically used in industrial applications?
A: ATH serves as a flame retardant, filler, and pigment in plastics, rubber, paper, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. It also acts as a chemical intermediate and is used in the production of glass and ceramics, providing enhanced flame resistance, whiteness, and stability.
Q: What are the benefits of incorporating ATH as a flame retardant?
A: ATH releases water vapor on heating, which reduces flammability and smoke emission in materials. Its non-toxic and stable properties ensure user safety and maintain product integrity, making it an effective and environmentally friendly flame retardant.
Q: When should ATH be added during the manufacturing process?
A: ATH is typically introduced during the mixing or compounding stage of production, before molding or forming. This ensures even distribution and optimal performance as a flame retardant or filler in finished products.
Q: Where and how should Aluminium Trihydrate be stored for best performance?
A: ATH should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures a shelf life of up to two years and prevents clumping or degradation of the powder.
Q: What is the process for integrating ATH as a filler in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals?
A: ATH is carefully blended with other active and inert ingredients following standard formulation procedures, leveraging its fine particle size, high purity, and non-toxic nature. This results in smooth texture, opacity, and enhanced product stability.
Q: Is Aluminium Trihydrate (ATH) safe to handle, and is it toxic?
A: ATH is non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless. It does not pose significant health hazards in normal industrial use. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available on request for detailed handling and safety information.
Q: What packaging options are available for Aluminium Trihydrate (ATH)?
A: ATH is supplied in high-quality 25 kg or 50 kg HDPE bags, or as per specific requirements, ensuring easy handling and protection against moisture during storage and transportation.
