Overview of Alumina Hydrate
Alumina Hydrate is a widely used inorganic aluminium compound valued for its flame-retardant properties, chemical stability, and role as a functional filler in multiple industrial applications. Chemically, the alumina hydrate formula is commonly represented as Al(OH)₃, also referred to as aluminium hydroxide. It is produced through controlled precipitation processes to achieve consistent purity and particle characteristics.
From a material perspective, Alumina Hydrate appears as a white, free-flowing powder with high brightness and low abrasiveness. It decomposes endothermically on heating, releasing water vapour, which contributes to its flame-retardant and smoke-suppressing behaviour rather than exhibiting a true melting phase (often discussed as a decomposition temperature rather than an alumina hydrate melting point). These properties make it suitable for long-term industrial use.
