Huber Hydral® 8 Aluminum Hydroxide
Categories:	Ceramic; Oxide; Aluminum Oxide; Other Engineering Material; Additive/Filler for Polymer
Material Notes:	Hydral® Coat 8 is a white aluminum trihydroxide Al(OH)3. It is a specially precipitated high-purity white aluminum trihydroxide powder with a brightness value of 99%. It has an extra-fine, uniform median particle size of about 0.8 microns in diameter. Hydral Coat 8 powder is a fully deagglomerated powder. Hydral Coat 8 is halogen-free and finds wide application as a low-smoke, flame-retardant filler in thermoset and thermoplastic materials. It improves arc-track resistance in many plastics used in electrical applications. As a reinforcing pigment in adhesives and adhesive tapes and electrical insulators, Hydral Coat 8 improves cold flow properties, maintains the neutrality or alkalinity of the composition, and increases cohesion.
