MagShield® S NB 10

CAS Number: 1309-42-8
EC Number: 215-170-3
Chemical Name: Magnesium Hydroxide
Chemical Family: Magnesium & Magnesium Compounds

MagShield® S NB 10 is a chemically precipitated grade of magnesium hydroxide made from magnesium-rich brine and dolomitic lime. It is designed for non-halogen flame retardant applications and can be processed in plastics at higher temperatures than alumina trihydrate. The fatty acid coating is bonded to magnesium hydroxide and allows for the use of other processing aids.
