Aluminum Trihydrate
Description :
Overview of Aluminum Trihydrate
Aluminum Trihydrate (Aluminum Hydroxide, ATH) is an inorganic compound used as a flame retardant, filler, and chemical intermediate. Known for its excellent flame-retardant properties through endothermic decomposition, use as filler in plastics and coatings, and applications in water treatment, Aluminum Trihydrate is widely used in polymer compounding, flame-retardant formulations, and various industrial applications.
This compound appears as a white powder. Its aluminum hydroxide structure provides useful flame-retardant and filler properties.
Related products include Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminum Oxide, and other inorganic flame retardants and fillers used in polymer and coating applications.
