SB-805

SB-805 ATH is a flame retardant and smoke suppressant. When compared to precipitated fine particle sized alumina trihydrate, SB-805 has significantly lower oil absorption which translates to reduced plasticizer demand and lower compound viscosity. Excellent results have been obtained with SB-805 in closed cell foam applications, particularly where moisture sensitive blowing agents are used. The controlled fine particle size distribution is beneficial in maintaining controlled cell structure. Other applications include open cell foam, wire and cable insulation and jacketing, injection molded and extruded polyolefins and compression molded thermosets.
