Deerfield Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/19/2016 -- Alumina trihydrate, also known as aluminum trihydroxide and abbreviated as ATH is a white powder which is non-toxic, chemically inert, less abrasive and halogen-free and is the most widely used flame retardant across the globe. It is derived usually from bauxite ore and is available in different particle sizes refined via Bayers process. Once the chemical is washed and dried, it is used as a feedstock for a wide range of alumina chemicals. Alumina trihydrate decomposes to aluminum oxide and water when heated at 180 C and thus is used widely as a flame retardant. Alumina trihydrate is mainly used in wooden furniture, tapestry and construction aggregate as well as an antacid in pharmaceutical industry.

As alumina trihydrate behave as a heat sink, it retards pyrolysis and reduces the burning rate. The water vapors released after heating has an added property of diluting toxic fumes and combustion gases. Alumina trihydrate has four polymorphs namely bayerite, gibbsite, nordstrandite and doyleite and is amphoteric in nature that is it dissolves in acid as well as alkali releasing hexaaquaaluminum, tetrahydroxidoaluminate or its hydrolysis products. Alumina trihydrate is also used in the manufacture of aluminum compounds such as calcined alumina, polyaluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, zeolites, sodium aluminate, alumina nitrate etc.
