Aluminium Hydroxide (ATH), with the chemical formula Al(OH)₃, is a versatile inorganic compound widely utilized across various industries as a flame retardant, smoke suppressant, and filler. This white crystalline solid is prized for its ability to decompose endothermically, releasing water vapor when exposed to heat, which effectively dilutes combustible gases and quenches flames.
Key Properties and Manufacturing
Our aluminium hydroxide undergoes strict quality control, characterized by its high purity, consistent particle size distribution, and excellent thermal stability. It is insoluble in water but soluble in strong acids and alkaline solutions. The manufacturing process ensures a product that meets industry standards for various applications, particularly where safety is paramount.
Primary Applications and Synergies with Polyacrylamide
A significant application of aluminium hydroxide is as a flame retardant filler in polymers, elastomers, and synthetic resins. It is extensively used in cables, wiring, building materials, and transportation interiors. Its endothermic decomposition makes it exceptionally effective in reducing fire risks.
In water treatment, aluminium hydroxide-related compounds play a crucial role. While aluminium hydroxide itself is a key coagulant, its efficacy is often enhanced when used alongside polyacrylamide flocculants. Polyacrylamide, a polymer derived from acrylamide monomers, improves the aggregation and settling of fine particles. This combination is vital for clarifying drinking water and treating industrial wastewater. The discussion of acrylamide content and acrylamide reduction in water sources is a important topic in environmental safety, highlighting the need for responsible handling and application of these materials.
Furthermore, in plastics and composites, aluminium hydroxide improves mechanical properties like arc resistance, track resistance, and surface aesthetics. Its synergistic use with other additives, including certain polymers, can enhance overall performance without compromising material integrity.
Handling, Safety, and Compliance
Aluminium hydroxide is generally considered safe for handling with appropriate industrial hygiene practices. It is non-toxic and does not require the stringent safety protocols associated with hazardous materials like acrylamide. Acrylamide, classified as a potential 2A carcinogen, demands careful management due to its neurotoxicity and associated health risks. This starkly contrasts with the safer profile of aluminium hydroxide. It is always recommended to use personal protective equipment to minimize dust inhalation.
