Phantoplastic – HMH – A natural solution to your burning issues

Dr. Chris DeArmitt FRSC
HMH work by Stefan Viering
- Natural mixtures of hydromagnesite and huntite are effective fire
retardants - Hydromagnesite is more active in the early stages of the fire providing
an endothermic release of gas similar to ATH - Huntite provides additional fire retardant activity not seen with ATH
- Varying the ratio of minerals allows tuning
- With proper processing, excellent FR and mechanical performance are
possible in EBA, conventional EVA based cables or PVC - Natural Mixtures of hydromagnesite and huntite offer much more than
simply ATH replacement - They are fully natural, non-synthetic, product
