What can aluminum hydroxide be used in?

Aluminum hydroxide, the appearance of white powder, no irritating odor, is the hydroxide of aluminum. Aluminum hydroxide is also an amphoteric hydroxide because it reacts with acids to form salts and water, and with strong bases to form salts and water. Aluminum hydroxide has good stability and certain corrosion resistance.

Aluminum hydroxide is an important inorganic material and has a wide range of applications.

1, flame retardant: aluminum hydroxide is a commonly used flame retardant, due to its decomposition can absorb a lot of heat, so it is used as a flame retardant in plastics, borracha, textiles and other polymer materials.

2, paper fillers: In the paper industry, aluminum hydroxide fillers are mainly used as surface coatings, fillers and the production of non-combustible paper. Aluminum hydroxide filler as a coating pigment has many advantages: high whiteness, fine particle size and uniform particle size distribution, using it as a pigment can improve the whiteness, opacity, smoothness and ink absorption performance of coated paper, using aluminum hydroxide instead of titanium dioxide, under the premise of not reducing the whiteness of paper, can save costs.
3, chemical raw materials: Because of the high purity of aluminum hydroxide, it can be quickly dissolved in strong acids and alkalis. Therefore, aluminum hydroxide filler is an important raw material for many kinds of aluminum salts.
