Prospect Analysis of Magnesium Hydroxide as Flame Retardant

When it comes to magnesium hydroxide, I believe everyone is familiar with it, especially some people engaged in the industrial field, often can see it, as a new type of flame retardant filler, in the process of heating decomposition release bound water, absorb a large amount of latent heat, in order to reduce the surface temperature of synthetic materials, inhibit polymer decomposition, cooling combustible gas.

  Magnesium hydroxideMagnesium oxide produced by heating and decomposition is a good refractory material. In addition to helping to optimize the fire resistance of the synthetic material, the water vapor released by the decomposition also has a smoke suppression effect. Therefore, in the rubber industry, magnesium hydroxide is considered to be a high-quality flame retardant with three functions of smoke suppression, filling and flame retardant. At present, in the field of communication cables, the amount of inorganic flame retardants abroad exceeds 64%, while China only accounts for 8%.

As an inorganic flame retardant, magnesium hydroxide not only has flame retardant effect, but also has smoke suppression effect. In the fire, more than 80% of the victims were not burned to death, but died of suffocation due to smoke. The addition of magnesium hydroxide flame retardant can greatly reduce the smoke density during combustion and reduce the risk factors of suffocation. Secondly, the polymer material has an insulating effect after the addition of magnesium hydroxide. Once burned, magnesium hydroxide will form a layer of magnesium oxide film. This kind of magnesium oxide film is resistant to high temperature, which can prevent further combustion, isolate flammable materials such as air, and improve the survival probability of people in fire.

At present, although the high-end magnesium hydroxide flame retardant market is still mainly monopolized by five manufacturers, domestic magnesium hydroxide manufacturers are committed to breaking this model. For example, a new type of environmentally friendly nanomaterial has been developed, which can completely replace imported products, fill the domestic gap, and change the phenomenon that China can only rely on imported products in the past. It has occupied 50% in the liquid crystal glass, lithium battery, ceramics, plastics and other industries.% Of the market share of high-end products.

I believe everyone has read the above content in detail. Of course, in addition to the above, with the rapid development of China's synthetic polymer material industry and the continuous improvement of regulations, the demand for flame retardants is also increasing. Magnesium hydroxide as a non-toxic, smoke suppression of environmental protection inorganic flame retardant, the demand is very urgent. China is also a large country of magnesium resources, with unique resource advantages and good market prospects. Therefore,Magnesium hydroxideFlame retardants in the future development must be bright.

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.
