High-Quality Aluminum Trihydrate (ATH) for Painting Applications
Aluminum trihydrate (ATH) is a widely used filler, extender pigment, and bodying agent in oil- and water-borne paint that does not greatly affect the color of the paint. This 8-micron median particle size extender is a white to tan colored powder that can be added to paint to impart transparency to the paint film.
Benefits of Using Aluminum Trihydrate (ATH)
ATH is non-toxic, halogen-free, and chemically inert, making it safe to use in various paint applications. It acts as a heat sink, retarding pyrolysis and reducing the burning rate, and releases approximately 35% of its weight as water vapor, diluting combustion gases and toxic fumes.
Acid-Resistant and Smoke-Suppressing Properties
In addition to its flame-retardant properties, ATH is also acid-resistant and smoke-suppressing, making it an ideal choice for use in coatings. Its low abrasiveness and cost-effectiveness make it a versatile and popular choice in the paint industry.
Physical Properties of Aluminum Trihydrate (ATH)
Our ATH has a median particle size of 8 microns, a sieve residue of 0.15% (>45 microns, +325 mesh), and a brightness of 91. It has a specific gravity of 2.42 g/cm3, an oil absorption of 19 mL/100g, and a bulk density of 50 lbs./ft3 (loose) and 70 lbs./ft3 (packed).
