VERTEX 100SA

Vertexmagnesium hydroxide products provide excellent fire retarding and smoke suppression performance for the thermoplastic or crosslinked polymer compounds. At 330, they decompose in an endothermic reaction to form water and magnesium oxide. Vertex 100SA is an aminosilane-treated product that provides superior fire performance and enhanced mechanical properties when used to make fire-rated polymeric compounds. The silane treatment promotes coupling of the magnesium hydroxide to the polymer used, providing high dispersion quality and thus enhanced compound performance especially for the high-loading applications. Vertex 100SA can be used in polyolefins and polyamides such as Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6.
