Artificial stone (including quartz stone and solid surface materials) has become the mainstream choice in the high-end decorative material market due to its excellent physical properties, rich decorative and environmental characteristics. Aluminum hydroxide (ATH) is a key functional filler and flame retardant in artificial stone formulations, and its physicochemical properties directly determine the quality and market competitiveness of the final product.

Aluminum hydroxide (ATH), as the most widely used halogen-free flame retardant filler in epoxy resin, rubber, composite materials, and electronic sealing materials, has multiple advantages such as flame retardancy, smoke suppression, filling, insulation, and controllable cost.

In the global mainstream technology route of halogen-free flame retardant, low smoke and non-toxic, and insulation filling of epoxy resin, aluminum hydroxide (ATH) has become the preferred inorganic flame retardant filler in electronic sealing, casting, copper-clad laminates, composite materials, insulation components and other fields due to its comprehensive advantages of controllable cost, flame retardant and smoke suppression, electrical insulation and processing friendliness.

Aluminum hydroxide (ATH，Al(OH)₃), as the most widely used and environmentally friendly halogen-free inorganic flame retardant in the world, has five core advantages of flame retardancy, smoke suppression, filling, non toxicity, and low cost.

The high filling epoxy resin system, with its excellent mechanical strength, thermal insulation, flame retardancy, and dimensional stability, has become a core material in global high-end manufacturing fields such as electronic encapsulation, power device packaging, composite material molding, high-end adhesives, and electrical casting.

In the design of coating formulas, the balance between thixotropy and leveling directly determines the construction feel, anti sagging ability, coating appearance, and final coating effect. Traditional additives such as fumed silica, organic rheology agents, and bentonite can provide thixotropy, but often bring problems such as increased cost, limited compatibility, insufficient high-temperature stability, and decreased gloss.
