Aluminium trihydroxide (also known as ATH) is a low-cost, inert, odourless filler powder than can be used to bulk-out, reduce shrinkage, add weight and add fire retardancy to casting resins including polyurethane, epoxy and polyester.
Available to buy online in 1kg, 5kg, 10kg and 25kg packs.
Aluminium trihydroxide is an inert, odourless filler powder than can be used to reduce shrinkage and add weight to cast polymer products. It can also improve the fire resistant properties of the casting and reduce exothermic reaction.
Typical Uses
It is recommended that the powder is mixed thoroughly with Part 'A' of polyurethane casting resins (like our Fast Cast) before adding part B. Never count the weight of the filler powder in the mix ratio.
Aluminium trihydroxide can be added to casting resins at an approximate maximum percentage of 200% by weight (e.g. 200g of filler powder to 100g of resin). Doing so will reduce shrinkage, improve thermal stability considerably and result in a heavier more substantial feel to cast products however the resin will become harder to pour and reproduction of fine surface details will be impaired as the filler content is increased.
Aluminium Trihydroxide Filler Powder is compatible with all popular casting resins, including polyurethane, epoxy and polyester.
