Thermally stable polymers, development flame retardants

The ATH flame retardant producers have long sought to develop produas with sufficiently increased thermal stability to enable wider use in polyolefins and similar polymers. Some success in this area has recently been reported by Weber of Martinswerk [46]. The more stable mono-hydrate, boehmite has also recently been commercialised as a flame retardant filler [47].
