Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AL FR & MAG FR Series for Paints & Coatings in paints & coatings applications

Both work through endothermic decomposition — they absorb significant heat (AL FR: 280 cal/g, MAG FR: 328 cal/g), release water vapour that dilutes flammable gases, and form stable mineral residues that act as thermal barriers.

AL FR decomposes at ~220°C with 35% water release (280 cal/g) — suited for lower temperature applications. MAG FR decomposes at ~330°C absorbing 328 cal/g — providing higher thermal stability for demanding conditions.

Halogen-based flame retardants release toxic gases (HCl, HBr) during combustion, creating serious safety and environmental concerns. AL FR and MAG FR release only water vapour and non-toxic mineral residues.

These are used in water-based and solvent-based intumescent fire-protective coatings, architectural coatings, UV coatings, elastomeric roof coatings, and industrial flame-retardant paint systems.

Typical loading levels are 3–15% by weight, depending on the required fire performance, paint system chemistry, and desired smoke suppression characteristics. See guideline formulations for reference.
