Description

Aluminium Trihydroxide (ATH) Filler Powder is a versatile, low-cost, inert and odourless filler widely used in casting and resin applications. Suitable for polyurethane, epoxy, and polyester resins, it can be added to casting systems to bulk out resin, reduce shrinkage, add weight and improve fire retardancy.

Available in 1kg, 5kg, 10kg, and 25kg options, this filler powder is an ideal choice for both small-scale and industrial use. When thoroughly blended into resin systems, Aluminium Trihydroxide helps to control exothermic reactions, increase thermal stability, and produce stronger, more substantial castings.

Capable of being used at loadings of up to 200% by weight (200g filler powder to 100g resin), ATH filler can significantly improve casting quality. However, higher filler content will reduce flowability and may impair the reproduction of fine surface details. For best results, mix thoroughly with Part A of polyurethane resin before adding Part B, and note that the filler weight is not included in the resin mixing ratio.

  • Low-cost, inert filler powder: Odourless & easy to use
  • Versatile resin additive: Compatible with polyurethane, epoxy & polyester resins
  • Reduces shrinkage: Improves dimensional stability of castings
  • Adds weight & bulk: Creates a more substantial, heavy feel to cast products
  • Improves fire resistance: Enhances flame-retardant properties
  • Controls heat build-up: Reduces exothermic reaction during curing
  • Flexible use: Can be added up to 200% by weight to resin mixes
  • Available in multiple sizes: 1kg, 5kg, 10kg & 25kg

Is this compatible with epodex eco epoxy, I need to colour 42kg
Hi david. Sorry the response is late but yes you can pigment Epoxy but at 10% ratio by weight.
Hi Is this Satin and powder ? suited for metal.
Hi Jay. Sorry this is so late but the pigment to be mixed in Topcoat is a paste and not a powder.
Hi Just bought some of this. There didn’t seem to be any mixing instructions though if you can let me know what they are and any advice on application. Thanks Keith F
Hello Keith. Gelcoat filler is subjective because under normal condition with polyester resin you would apply 20ml per 1kg. But this product is used in very small quantities (5grm at a time) so a small dribble of catalyst would need to be used. Hope this helps.
Hi is this plastic spheres or glass?
Hi Daniel. Fillite is like a fine powder but cures really hard. Spheres or glass is West 409.
I have a hollow Glass fibre spoiler- that needs more rigidity, having read up - 2 part high density foam sounds if it would help. But, how much to pour in, would it split the spoiler, do I need a large escape vent hole to ensure no warping ? , thanks DC
Hi Dale. Yes this needs an escape hole and the calculation is every 1kg mix is 1 x cubic foot.
Can you mix a colour match if I send in a chip of my gelcoat? Closest colour on RAL chart is 5018 turquoise blue but it isn’t that close. Also looking for Scott Bader 337 white
Hi Dean. Please send in a well polished sample at approx 2" and we will get it checked. Scott Bader 337 is a stock item.
I would like to purchase 15 pails (20kg each) of Scott Bader Crystic 1355PA Class 1 Fire Retardant Resin (Inc Catalyst). Could you please advise the estimated delivery time to Hong Kong and the shipping cost? Thanks.
Hi Siena. Unfortunately we can not deliver to Hong Kong. We are limited to shipping information unless you can arrange your own internal transport. Regards Paul.
Hi Is this suitable to re coat an existing fibreglass roof if I sand the old gel coat and what roughly is the coverage per litre. Thanks
Hi Keith. First you must remove all traces of topcoat as this still contains a wax and may pre release. It is advised to remove all back to the laminate and acetone wipe and then re-apply.
How big is a 1kg tin is it equivalent to 1ltr
Yes, it is roughly equivalent to 1L. Pigments vary slightly as certain colours weigh more than others but it is made in a 1L tin.
I want to use this filler to fill some screw holes and gouges up to 5mm deep on a vertical surface but it's too runny. Is there a way of thickening it?
Hi Kim. I would first fill the holes with a strong body filler leaving about 2mm the replace the gelcoat. Gelcoat, if applied too thick is prone to cracking.
Is it possible to colour Isopon p38 car filler with a portion of ral3012 to stain it?
Hi Peter. Isopon can be coloured using our standard pigments. 10-15% should be fine.
Is this correct product to repair chips in a Humber Destroyer hull? Thanks Nick
Hi Nick. Your best product will be Gelcoat filler with the colour you have chosen. Put the colour number in the special instructions at the end.
Can I use on fiberglass boat repair
Hi Dan. A gelcoat filler ( white) is the best option if they are small gelcoat repairs.
Hi I purchased this product but it has come with no instructions for use. Could you tell me please, the mixing ratio for this Regards
Hi Peter. The only calculation you will need is every 1kg of resin you need 20ml of catalyst. This is 2% catalyst ratio. The hotter it is the less catalyst is required. Average is 16-21% heat for the material to cure. Hope this helps.
