Aluminum Hydroxide - Product
Aluminum Hydroxide
Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) is a white, odorless, non-toxic powder that is widely used as a flame retardant, filler, and chemical intermediate in various industrial processes. Known for its high purity and versatile properties, aluminum hydroxide is often used in the production of alumina, plastics, rubber, coatings, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used in water treatment and as a fire retardant in polymers due to its ability to release water vapor when heated.
