Market Definition
The report covers the fine alumina trihydrate (ATH) market based on the particle size of ATH in certain
range

Fine alumina trihydrate (ATH) also known as aluminium hydrate as well as aluminium hydroxide, is a fine
white powder, derived from bauxite ore through Bayers process. The average particle size of fine alumina
Definition hydrate, as defined and considered within the scope of this report, ranges from 0-2 m. Fine alumina
hydrate is an environment-friendly, mineral-based flame retardant and smoke suppressant, used in
variety of polyolefin resins.

Fine alumina trihydrate is used across various end-use industries for a wide range of applications
such as cable compounds, sheet molding compounds, bulk molding compounds and others. Cable
Applications compounds application segment is a fast growing segment within the energy sector, which is
benefitting from rising energy consumption in China and other developing economies throughout
Asia-Pacific excluding Japan.

Major Key global producers of fine alumina trihydrate include Huber Engineered Materials, Nabaltec AG,
Aluminium Corporation of China Limited (CHALCO) and Hindalco Industries Limited, among others.

Introduction (1/2)
Fine grade alumina trihydrate is the most commonly used filler and flame retardant in plastics, rubber,
SMC molding, etc.

Fine alumina trihydrate is used as a halogen-free flame retardant in the manufacturing of cable
Cable compounds. It is utilized in the wire and cable manufacturing industry for cable sheathing and
Compounds also for wire insulation and these are considered as low smoke, halogen free compounds.

Sheet molding compounds are a combination of mineral fillers, long chopped glass strands and
Sheet Molding liquid thermosetting resin in the form of malleable sheet material. Processing of sheet molding
Compounds compounds is usually done by injection or compression molding.

Bulk molding compounds are the combination of mineral fillers, short chopped glass strands and
Bulk Molding liquid thermosetting resin in the form of bulk material. Bulk molding compound is suitable for
Compounds either injection or compression molding.

Under the others application segment comes fine alumina trihydrate, which is utilized in
construction industry for paints & coatings and in adhesives & sealants for manufacturing of
Others
furnitures. Fine hydrate can replace 25% of the titanium dioxide pigment & hence it is an
economical extender reducing the production cost.

I. Aluminium Hydroxide as Flame Retardant (1/2)

Aluminum Hydroxide (ATH) for Flame Retardant Application

The flame retarding mechanism by ATH/ metal hydroxides has been identified to be from two effects. One, due to the heat
sink effect (degradation of material and further vaporization of water by heat) other, due to the dilution of combustible gases
by the water formed as a result of de-hydroxylation. Residue material, formed as a result of thermal degradation of metal
hydroxides (above 200C in case of ATH), also form a heat-insulating barrier on the surface that prevents further fire
propagation of the material.
The major performance issue with metal hydroxides is the required high loading levels in order to obtain equivalent flame
retardant properties as by other additives. Although, these loads can be reduced with a correct choice of particle size, surface
modification and proper dispersion in the matrix material. Furthermore, the coated filler products (e.g. Zinc hydroxystannate
coated ATH) offer the possibility of equivalent or better flame retardancy and smoke suppression at significantly reduced
incorporation levels.
