Zerogen® 50 SA is a fine particle size amino silane-treated Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH) flame retardant grade with low electrolyte content for wire and cable applications

Zerogen® magnesium hydroxide products provide excellent fire retarding and smoke suppression performance for thermoplastic or crosslinked polymer compounds. At 330°, they decompose in an endothermic reaction to form water and magnesium oxide. Zerogen products are characterized by high chemical purity, thus suitable for use in compound applications where excellent electrical properties are needed, such as in cable insulation materials.

Zerogen 50SA is an aminosilane-treated product designed to provide superior compound performance when used to make fire-rated polymeric compounds. The silane treatment promotes coupling of the magnesium hydroxide to the polymer used, providing high dispersion quality and thus enhanced compound performance especially for the high-loading applications. Zerogen® 50SA can be used in polyolefins and polyamides.
