Features Of Albemarle MARTINAL ON-908 Aluminum Hydroxide Flame Retardant

  1. High-purity, surface-treated aluminum hydroxide with optimized particle size distribution for superior dispersion in polymer matrices.

  2. Low smoke and halogen-free flame retardancy, supporting compliance with stringent fire safety standards (e.g., UL 94, IEC 60695).

  3. Thermally stable up to ~200 °C, enabling processing compatibility with common thermoplastics including polyolefins and engineering resins.

  4. Reduced abrasiveness compared to untreated alumina hydrates, minimizing wear on extrusion and molding equipment.

  5. Consistent batch-to-batch quality certified under ISO 9001 and supported by comprehensive regulatory documentation (REACH, RoHS compliant).

Typical Applications Of Albemarle MARTINAL ON-908 Aluminum Hydroxide Flame Retardant

  1. Flame-retarded polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) for wire & cable jacketing and sheathing.

  2. Fire-safe thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) used in automotive interior components and flexible conduits.

  3. Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) compounds for data center infrastructure and rail transportation interiors.

  4. Flame-retardant masterbatches for injection-molded consumer electronics housings and enclosures.

Albemarle MARTINAL ON-908 Aluminum Hydroxide Flame Retardant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key advantages of MARTINAL ON-908 compared to other aluminum hydroxide flame retardants?

A: MARTINAL ON-908 is engineered for enhanced dispersion and compatibility in polymer systems, particularly in thermoplastics and elastomers. Its optimized particle size distribution and surface treatment support improved mechanical property retention after compounding, reduced viscosity during processing, and more uniform flame-retardant performance across diverse formulations.


Q2: Is MARTINAL ON-908 suitable for halogen-free flame-retardant cable compounds?

A: Yes — MARTINAL ON-908 is widely used in halogen-free low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) cable jacketing and insulation compounds. It contributes to effective flame suppression and smoke suppression while maintaining good processability and long-term stability under typical extrusion conditions.


Q3: How does moisture sensitivity affect handling and storage of MARTINAL ON-908?

A: As with most aluminum hydroxides, MARTINAL ON-908 is hygroscopic and should be stored in a cool, dry environment with sealed packaging to prevent moisture uptake. Prolonged exposure to high humidity may impact dispersion efficiency and require pre-drying before high-shear compounding — consult your processing guidelines for best practices.


Q4: Can MARTINAL ON-908 be used in polyolefin-based automotive interior materials?

A: Yes — it is commonly incorporated into PP and PE-based automotive interior components where UL 94 V-0 or V-1 ratings are required. Its thermal decomposition profile aligns well with polyolefin processing windows, and its surface modification helps preserve melt flow and impact resistance in thin-wall applications.
