ATH  Alumina Trihydrate and MDH Magnesium Hydroxide Are widely used to make low-smoke and halogen-free flame retardant wire and cable compounds for a  range of insulation and jacketing applications. ATH and MDH serve to retard both flame and smoke via an endothermic reaction that releases water when heated to decomposition. The metal oxide by-product from decomposed ATH and MDH, Al2O3 and MgO respectively, also helps form a char on the polymer, which insulates the polymer from heat and oxygen. ATM decomposes at about 220 C(degree) while MDH decomposes at about 330 C(degree), thus, having a higher thermal stability allowing for a wider window for compounding processing.
