Zerogen® 50 SP is a fine particle size vinyl silane-treated Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH) product 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 50 SP is a vinyl silane-treated product designed to provide excellent compounding rheology and high-quality dispersion into such polymers as polyolefins, EPR/EPDM and other elastomers. The vinyl silane treatment also improves mechanical properties.
