We cordially invite you to join us at The 12th China International WIRE & Cable Industry Exhibition for an exceptional industry experience!

Nowadays,if you are considering the selection of flame retardant fillers for halogen-free systems, the materials that you will probably come across most often are MDH and ATH. Both are eco-friendly and non-halogenated flame retardants that find a wide application in cable compounds, EVA, rubber, and engineering plastics. However, their performances vary greatly depending on the processing temperature, the amount of the filler, and the end-use application. This article will provide you with a detailed comparison between MDH and ATH at the technical level so that you can better understand and select the appropriate ‍‍‌product.

Electrical performance, in a broad sense, refers to various electrical characteristics exhibited by materials under the influence of an applied electric field. For powder materials (especially inorganic insulating powders), the following core indicators are usually of concern:

Electrical performance, in a broad sense, refers to various electrical characteristics exhibited by materials under the influence of an applied electric field. For powder materials (especially inorganic insulating powders), the following core indicators are usually of concern:

The primary reasons are its low solubility in water and the fact that the dissolved portion only partially dissociates to release hydroxide ions (OH⁻). Its alkalinity is much weaker than typical strong bases like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide but slightly stronger than typical weak bases like aqueous ammonia. Therefore, it is often classified as a "medium-strength base" or a "sparingly soluble strong electrolyte."

In the plastic masterbatch industry, magnesium oxide is playing an increasingly important role as a key additive for enhancing product performance. Its unique physical and chemical properties bring multifaceted improvements to plastic materials, and its effectiveness is closely tied to a series of stringent specifications.

In the world of chemistry, sometimes the subtlest differences can lead to drastically different applications. Magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃) is a prime example. When we talk about "magnesium carbonate," we usually refer to two physical forms:light magnesium carbonate and heavy magnesium carbonate. Although they share the same chemical formula and similar core chemical components, they differ significantly in physical properties, production processes, and end uses.
