Future Market Insights (FMI) delivers key insights on the alumina trihydrate market in its latest report titled, “Alumina Trihydrate Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2016 – 2026”. According to the report, the global alumina trihydrate market revenues are projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2016-2026.
Alumina trihydrate (ATH) is used in the manufacture of glass, ceramics, paints & coatings, etc. It finds major application as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant in materials due to its ability to release water of crystallization as water vapour when heated above 220°C.
Alumina trihydrate is commercially available in the market for a number of applications such as waterproofing, furniture, and tapestry production. Alumina trihydrate is available in multiple grades—coarse, precipitated, chemically treated, and superfine. Depending on the application and customized demand from end-user industries, these grades and particle sizes can be modified.
