PARMAG - Magnesium

Hydroxide



           Flame Retardant Additive Wire and
                      Cable Applications

Magnesium hydroxide provides excellent flame retardance and smoke suppression in wire and cable applications. To meet your specific needs, our highly consistent products are available in a variety of treated grades.



•  Product Overview :

Magnesium hydroxide is a non-toxic, non-corrosive additive. It is often used in elastomeric and plastic compounds where a non-halogen solution to flame retardance and smoke suppression is specified.

Products undergo an endothermic decomposition beginning at about 330°C.
            Heat
Mg(OH)2 ---> MgO + H2O

 


•  Flame Retardance & Smoke Suppression :

For combustion to occur there must be fuel, oxygen and heat. Magnesium hydroxide retards combustion of the polymeric material.

The endothermic decomposition of Mg(OH)2 which occurs during combustion is the flame retardant mechanism. The water released during combustion has the effect of diluting the combustible gasses and acting as a barrier, preventing oxygen from supporting the flame.

The smoke suppression properties of magnesium hydroxide are believed to be due to the dilution effect of the water vapor on the combustible gases or due to a char formation with the polymer.
