Analysis of Advantages and Disadvantages of Magnesium Hydroxide in Flame Retardant Application

Flame retardant is an additive that can make the polymer not easy to catch fire, and the fire makes it slow after burning. According to the classification of the elements contained in the flame retardant, it can be divided into organic and inorganic flame retardants. Organic flame retardants can be divided into flame retardants, halogen flame retardants (including chlorine and bromine) and nitrogen flame retardants; inorganic flame retardants include antimony compounds, phosphorus and phosphoric acid, boron compounds, magnesium hydroxide, zirconium compounds and bismuth compounds. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the research and application of flame retardants in today's world is moving in the direction of non-halogenated. Representative of the application of inorganic flame retardants with aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, is endothermic and exothermic by chemical decomposition

The representative of the application of inorganic flame retardants with aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide is formed after the decomposition of the insulating layer on the surface of magnesium oxide by chemical decomposition to absorb heat and dilute the mass fraction of oxygen in the air by discharging hot water. It has the chemical stability of non-toxic, smoke and decomposition product inhibition (alumina, magnesium oxide) series, so it does not produce secondary damage. However, the use of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide as flame retardants has the following disadvantages: first, the flame retardant efficiency is low, so a higher concentration is required; second, it is naturally hydrophilic and oleophobic surface properties, and it is difficult to uniformly disperse in organic polymers. Therefore, if the magnesium hydroxide powder is not used to fill the surface treatment of the polymer, the other properties of the polymer material (such as processing properties and mechanical properties) are seriously deteriorated.
Therefore, according to the advantages and disadvantages of magnesium hydroxide as a flame retardant, determination and research can achieve better results, and better results can be obtained when applied to production and life.

Zhongke Flame Retardant Organization Watches 20 Closing Ceremonies

On the morning of October 22, 2022, members of Zhongke Flame Retardant New Materials Co., Ltd. watched the closing ceremony of the 20th Congress under the leadership of General Manager Wang Ligui.

What are the reasons for the failure of flame retardant after adding aluminum hydroxide flame retardant?

Everyone knows that there are two common flame retardants. Today we are going to talk about only one of them. Aluminum hydroxide flame retardant is an environmentally friendly halogen-free flame retardant, which can be widely used in fabrics, wood, plastics, and rubber., Polyurethane and other industries have ideal flame retardant effect. In the process of industrial application, it is found that flame retardant failure occurs when aluminum hydroxide flame retardant is added. The following are the reasons for the failure of aluminum hydroxide flame retardant, how to prevent it, how to deal with the operation, and restore the original function.

As a flame retardant, magnesium hydroxide also need to improve what aspects?

When it comes to flame retardants, everyone is familiar with them. Although we usually have less contact with them, we can know what they are used for from the name. Have to talk about magnesium hydroxide, we all know that its main presentation state is a granular, at present, the market sales of magnesium hydroxide particle size is larger, part of the commodity particle size up to tens of microns, immediately used as a flame retardant, poor dispersion, the physical properties of raw materials greater harm. In industrial production, physical grinding methods are generally used to reduce the particle size to 1 micron. The surface of magnesium hydroxide has high polarity and is easy to agglomerate. As the compatibility of refractory materials and polymer substrates, it not only reduces its flame retardant grade, but also causes more serious harm to the physical properties of raw materials.
