Product Profile of Magnesium Hydroxide Flame Retardant

Magnesium Hydroxide Flame Retardant is non-halogenated, high thermal stable & non corrosive smoke suppressant and acid scavenger. Its high thermal stability - up to 340 degree C enables its use where Aluminum trihydrate is not sufficiently stable. Magnesium Hydroxide Flame Retardant is supplied by Makwell Plastisizers Pvt. Ltd.

Makwell Plastisizers Pvt. Ltd. Manufactures a wide variety of plasticizers and additives like chlorinated paraffin, epoxidised soyabean oil, flame retardants, impact modifier, organotin stabilizers and acrylic processing aid.

Magnesium Hydroxide provides flame retardance through five mechanisms:

• Magnesium Hydroxide produces more char than ATH resulting in increased effectiveness and less smoke.

• Magnesium Hydroxide dilutes the amount of fuel available to sustain combustion.

• Magnesium Hydroxide during combustion, generates highly reflective magnesium oxide coating which deflects the flame`s heat away from the polymer.

• Magnesium Hydroxide contains 31 % bound water which is released beginning at 330°C and blankets the flame to limit oxygen available for combustion.

• Magnesium Hydroxide absorbs 17% more heat from the combustion zone than ATH to reduce the prospect of continued burning.
