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.

 

Recommended Magnesium Hydroxide Grades by Application

 

Selecting the correct MDH grade is critical for achieving flame retardant performance, dispersion, mechanical strength, and processing stability. 

 

Application

Key Requirements

Recommended Grade

Wire & Cable (HFFR / LSZH)

Custom Surface Modification Services

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.

FAQ

 

Q: What is your standard lead time for a FCL (Full Container Load) order?

A: For standard grades, we ship within 7 to 10 working days from order confirmation. Custom surface-treated grades (e.g., DL series) typically take 10 to 15 days depending on our production schedule.

Q: Do you accept third-party pre-shipment inspections?

A: Yes. We welcome international inspection agencies such as SGS, BV, or Intertek to conduct quantity verification, packaging checks, and laboratory testing before container sealing.

Q: Can you provide customized packaging or private labeling (OEM)?

A: Yes. We offer customizable packaging options, including neutral bags, custom pallet sizes (ISPM 15 certified heat-treated wooden or plastic pallets), and customized stretch wrapping/corner protectors.

Q: Do you offer flexible payment terms for long-term partners?

A: While we start new relationships with standard T/T or L/C at sight, we are open to offering flexible credit terms (such as OA or DP) for established global partners after a credit history assessment.

Q: How do you guarantee batch-to-batch color and particle size consistency?

A: We use an automated DCS production system to control raw feed rates. Every single batch is sampled and tested on our Malvern particle size analyzer and whiteness meter. We record and retain retain-samples for 2 years for quality traceability.

Q: What is the difference between standard MDH and surface-treated MDH?

A: Standard MDH is suitable for general flame retardant applications, while DL series improves compatibility with polymer matrices and supports higher filler loading.
