Vertex® 100 SA is a fine particle size aminosilane-treated Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH) flame retardant for wire and cable applications.

Vertex® magnesium hydroxide products provide excellent fire retarding and smoke suppression performance for the thermoplastic and elastomeric compounds. At 330°, they decompose in an endothermic reaction to form water and magnesium oxide.

Vertex 100SA is an aminosilane-treated product that provides superior fire performance and enhanced mechanical properties 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. Vertex 100SA can be used in polyolefins and polyamides such as Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6.
