Vertex® 60SV is a magnesium hydroxide product with a proprietary surface treatment to allow for high loadings in polyolefin applications such as plastic pallets and rubbish containers.

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

Vertex 60 SV is a magnesium hydroxide product surface treated with a proprietary surface treatment that provides superior fire performance when used to make fire-rated polyolefin compounds. The proprietary surface treatment improves compounding rheology and processing as well as compound physical properties.
