Summary
MgO enhances flame resistance in rubber, reducing fire hazards and improving safety in industrial applications.

Magnesium Oxide as Flame Retardant in Rubber

Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a key flame retardant additive in rubber manufacturing. Its high thermal stability and endothermic decomposition absorb heat, delaying ignition and suppressing smoke. This makes it ideal for industrial materials like conveyor belts, seals, and cables where fire safety is critical. Richase’s high-purity MgO ensures consistent performance, meeting stringent safety standards.
In comparison to traditional calcium carbonate filler, MgO offers superior fire resistance without compromising mechanical properties. Its synergy with polymer additives like alumina trihydrate enhances retardancy. For plastic modification, MgO also improves thermal stability, making it a versatile choice across industries.

Our MgO products are engineered for easy dispersion in rubber compounds, ensuring uniform protection. Applications include automotive parts, construction materials, and protective gear. With strict quality control, Richase provides reliable solutions for magnesium oxide rubber applications.
For optimal results, combine MgO with complementary additives t o balance flame resistance and elasticity. Consult our technical team for custom formulations.
