ATH is a white, powdery substance with the chemical formula Al2O3·3H2O, representing a hydrated form of aluminum oxide. Its crystal structure contains water molecules, making it an effective flame retardant. ATH is primarily employed as a flame retardant due to its exceptional fire-suppressing properties. When exposed to heat or flames, it releases water vapor (H2O) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). This endothermic reaction absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, reducing the temperature of the material and inhibiting the spread of flames.Aluminum trihydrate, commonly known as ATH or Alumina Trihydrate, is a versatile and widely used flame retardant and smoke suppressant in various industrial applications. It plays a crucial role in improving the fire safety of materials and products. Applications-
