Zerogen® 50 is a fine particle size untreated Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH) 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 is an untreated magnesium hydroxide which can be used in polyolefins, EPR/EPDM, PVC and certain engineering thermoplastics such as polyamides to make zero-halogen or low-smoke compounds.
