Albemarle inproves processability of flame retardant

Albemarle Corporation has developed a new generation of its Martinal® finely precipitated aluminium trihydrate (ATH) flame retardants to meet customer demand for improved processability in compounding operations.

The company says that the newly developed product will be called Martinal LEO flame retardant and will benefit wire and cable compounders and other plastics manufacturers through its improved thermal stability, better electrical properties, lower compound viscosity and higher bulk density. Combined with improved flow after conveying, the new, optimized Martinal LEO ATH is claimed to yield better performance than previous ATH flame retardants.
