The global market for Alumina Trihydrate (ATH) is projected to reach US$1.9 billion by 2025, driven by robust applications in coatings, inks, adhesives, caulks, sealants and most importantly as non-halogen flame retardant and smoke suppressant. Key benefits of ATH driving its use as a versatile pigment include dehydration at 428°F that makes it a perfect flame retardant and smoke suppressant; high brightness which allows for adding into colors without the risk of darkening; low oil absorption and viscosity stability; median particle size ranging from 1 micron to 80 microns; reflactive index of 1.57 which helps impart strength, transparency or translucency; non-abrasive; easy dispersability; chemically inert which makes it Stain, scrub, water resistant and UV transparent; thermal conductivity; non-toxic; non-halogen; and low impurities which means faster cure in thick UV cured systems; compatibility with cationic and or anionic systems which offers flexibility in the choice of poly...
