Comparative Analysis: MDH vs. ATH (Why Choose Magnesium Hydroxide?)
Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH) and Aluminum Hydroxide (ATH) are both widely used environmentally friendly flame retardants. However, MDH provides advantages in applications requiring higher processing temperatures and better smoke suppression performance.
|
Feature / Property |
Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) |
Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) |
Why It Matters to You |
|
Thermal Decomposition |
Approx.340°C |
Approx. 200°C |
MDH allows higher processing temperatures without premature decomposition, ideal for PP, PA, and ABS. |
|
Endothermic Heat |
1.37kJ/g |
1.05kJ/g |
MDH absorbs more heat during combustion, improving flame retardant efficiency. |
|
Smoke Suppression |
Excellent |
Good |
MDH acts as a more powerful smoke suppressant and acid gas absorber. |
|
Hardness (Mohs) |
2.5 |
3.0 |
MDH is less abrasive to compounding extruders and molds, extending equipment lifespan. |

To prevent compounding degradation and improve mechanical retention at high filler loadings (up to 60%+), ZC-TECH offers advanced, customized surface treatments for our Magnesium Hydroxide powder:
Silane Coupling Agents (Vinyl, Amino, Epoxy, Methacryl): Optimizes bonding with EVA, PE, PP, and engineering thermoplastics.
Stearic Acid / Fatty Acid Coating: Enhances hydrophobicity and dispersion in rubber, elastomers, and PVC.
Polymer Wax / Customized Coatings: Designed for customized melt flow indexes (MFI) and specific viscosity requirements.
Processing Recommendations for Polymer Manufacturers
When incorporating high loading levels of inorganic flame retardants, optimized processing conditions are essential to maintain product performance.
Feeding Method
Side feeding Magnesium Hydroxide after polymer melting is recommended to improve dispersion and reduce processing issues.
Processing Temperature
Maintain processing temperatures below 340°C to avoid premature release of crystal water.
Screw Configuration
Low-to-medium shear screw designs with proper dispersion elements are recommended to minimize particle agglomeration.
