Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Hydramax™ A7 of magnesium hydroxide products are a non-halogen flame retardant with low smoke properties. Its high endothermic decomposition temperature allows it to be used in a wide range of polymers. Hydramax™ A series is used to help meet smoke and flammability tests such as ASTM-E84, UL-94, ASTM-E662, UL 910, ASTM D2863, ASTM D3843 and NFPA 263.
- Hydramax™ A7 is available untreated, or with either a Stearic Acid or Silane surface treatment.
