Vertex® 100 is a fine particle size untreated Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH) products for fire rated thermoplastic and elastomeric compounds.

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 100 is an untreated product that provides superior fire performance and enhanced mechanical properties when used to make fire-rated thermoplastic compounds. Vertex 100 can be used in polyolefins, EPR/EPDM, PVC and certain engineering thermoplastics such as polyamides to make zero-halogen or low-smoke compounds.
