- Chemical Name
- Alumina Trihydrate (ATH)
- Chemical Family
- Aluminum Compounds
MoldX® A400 is a third generation optimized Alumina Trihydrate (ATH) product that gives low viscosity at a high loading level (250-380 phr), but requires 20-30% less loading than MoldX® A110 to achieve the same flame retardant performance.MoldX® A400 optimized ATH is particularly well-suited for SMC, and it can also provide low cost flame retardancy and smoke suppression in other thermoset processes such as: epoxy potting, wet-mat, spray-up, hand lay-up, and bulk molding compounds (BMC) that contain reinforcing fibers (patent pending).
