In the production, mixing, and packaging processes of flame retardants, the issue of dust is not simply a cleaning challenge, but a systematic engineering problem related to process safety, product quality control, occupational health, and environmental compliance.

Against the backdrop of increasingly strict environmental regulations and constantly improving standards in the electrical, electronic, and automotive industries, halogen-free flame retardancy of nylon (polyamide) materials has become an inevitable trend.

Nylon (PA6/PA66/PPA), as the core category of engineering plastics, has shifted its flame retardant scheme from traditional halogen based to nitrogen based, phosphorus based, phosphorus nitrogen synergistic and other environmentally friendly systems.

In the technological path of flame retardancy of polymer materials, inorganic flame retardant fillers have become the mainstream choice to replace traditional halogenated flame retardants due to their outstanding advantages such as environmental friendliness, low smoke and low toxicity, and high thermal stability.

Aluminum hydroxide (ATH) is the most widely used environmentally friendly flame retardant filler in polymer materials, and its processing performance directly affects the preparation efficiency and final performance of composite materials. This article systematically analyzes the differences between ordinary ATH and low viscosity ATH in surface properties, rheological behavior, dispersion mechanism, and processing adaptability from the perspective of materials science, providing theoretical basis for selection in industrial applications.

In the field of polymer flame retardant, aluminum hydroxide (ATH) has long held a core position in the flame retardant market due to its advantages of non toxicity, smoke suppression, environmental friendliness, and relatively low cost.
