MagShield® UF NB 10 magnesium hydroxide is achemically precipitated grade of magnesium hydroxide with a median particle size of 1.0 micron and produced from magnesium-rich brine and dolomitic lime. It is designed for critical, non-halogen flame retardant applications such as select wire and cable insulation and other thin section applications. MagShield UF NB10 has been treated with a stearate coating that is fully bonded to the magnesium hydroxide to improve dispersion, handling and physical properties of the compounded plastic.
