General Description
Magnesium Hydroxide is a non-halogenated inorganic flame retardant additive commonly used in plastics rubber cables and construction materials. It appears as a fine white powder and works by releasing water vapor when heated which cools the material and helps suppress smoke and flame spread. White odorless inorganic powder. Environmentally friendly and halogen-free flame retardant. Also provides smoke suppression and thermal stability.
