Albemarle MARTINAL ON-904 Aluminum Hydroxide Flame Retardant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What distinguishes MARTINAL ON-904 from other aluminum hydroxide flame retardants?

A: MARTINAL ON-904 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 haze or processing challenges.


Q2: Is MARTINAL ON-904 suitable for use in halogen-free flame-retarded polyolefins?

A: Yes — it is widely used in halogen-free flame-retardant polypropylene and polyethylene compounds, offering effective endothermic decomposition and smoke suppression while maintaining good mechanical properties at appropriate loading levels.


Q3: How does the surface treatment affect processing and final part performance?

A: The proprietary surface treatment improves interfacial adhesion with non-polar polymers, reduces agglomeration during compounding, enhances melt flow stability, and helps preserve tensile strength and impact resistance in finished parts compared to untreated aluminum hydroxide.


Q4: Can MARTINAL ON-904 be used in thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) or flexible PVC applications?

A: Yes — its fine particle size and tailored surface chemistry support good dispersion in soft compound systems, contributing to flame retardancy without excessive stiffening or compromising elasticity in many TPE and flexible PVC formulations.
