Albemarle Martinal ON-310 Aluminum Hydroxide Flame Retardant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What makes Martinal ON-310 different from other aluminum hydroxide flame retardants?

A: Martinal ON-310 is a surface-treated, ultrafine aluminum hydroxide specifically engineered for enhanced dispersion and compatibility in demanding polymer systems, particularly low-viscosity or high-clarity formulations where conventional grades may cause agglomeration or haze.


Q2: In which polymer matrices is Martinal ON-310 most commonly used?

A: It is widely selected for halogen-free flame retardancy in engineering thermoplastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and thermoplastic elastomers, especially where improved processability, surface finish, or mechanical property retention are critical.


Q3: How does Martinal ON-310 contribute to flame retardancy without compromising material properties?

A: Upon heating, it undergoes endothermic decomposition, releasing water vapor that cools the substrate and dilutes flammable gases—while its optimized particle morphology and surface treatment help maintain tensile strength, impact resistance, and melt flow stability at typical loading levels.


Q4: Is Martinal ON-310 suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance with RoHS or REACH?

A: Yes—Martinal ON-310 is an inorganic, halogen-free compound composed solely of aluminum, oxygen, and hydrogen. It contains no substances of very high concern (SVHCs) listed under current REACH candidate lists and meets RoHS Directive requirements for restricted substances.


Q5: What handling precautions should be observed during processing?

A: As with all fine powders, appropriate dust control measures—including local exhaust ventilation and respiratory protection during manual handling—are recommended to minimize inhalation exposure. The material is non-toxic and non-hazardous under normal storage and processing conditions.
