Aluminium Trihydrate (ATH) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Aluminium Hydroxide
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Alumina Trihydrate
- ATH
Aluminium trihydrate supplier for plastics, rubber, coatings, solid-surface and related industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also called aluminium hydroxide, alumina trihydrate, aluminium trihydroxide and ATH, this white mineral powder is selected as a halogen-free flame-retardant filler and functional extender rather than as aluminium oxide.
Commercial options include ground filler grade, fine and ultrafine powder, flame-retardant grades, precipitated material and surface-modified ATH. Buyers usually specify particle size, brightness, moisture and any surface treatment because those controls affect dispersion, loading and finished-part performance.
Typical uses cover wire and cable compounds, polymer and rubber formulations, coatings and adhesives, solid-surface composites, paper fillers and selected ceramic or technical manufacturing routes. Pharmaceutical gel and antacid grades sit outside this industrial catalogue page.
Send the required grade or form, particle size, surface treatment, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Aluminium Trihydrate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ground ATH filler grade | ground white powder | — | Mineral filler and smoke-suppressing additive in plastics, rubber compounds, adhesives and related industrial formulations. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Fine and ultrafine ATH powder | fine or ultrafine free-flowing powder | — | Applications that need a controlled fine particle size for surface finish, dispersion, coating systems or solid-surface compounds. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Flame-retardant ATH grade | powder selected for flame-retardant loading | — | Halogen-free flame-retardant systems in wire and cable compounds, polymer compounds and other plastics or rubber formulations where ATH loading is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Surface-modified ATH | treated powder | — | Polymer and coating systems where surface treatment improves dispersion, moisture resistance or compound processing relative to untreated ATH. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Precipitated ATH | precipitated powder | — | Higher-purity or controlled-morphology requirements in specialty fillers, coatings and selected technical formulations. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place and protect from moisture. Control dust during powder handling and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about aluminium trihydrate
Are aluminium trihydrate, aluminium hydroxide and ATH the same product?
Yes for industrial trade purposes. Aluminium trihydrate (ATH) is aluminium hydroxide, also written Al(OH)3 and often sold as alumina trihydrate. The grade, particle size and any surface treatment still need to be stated because filler, fine powder and flame-retardant options are not interchangeable for every formulation.
Is aluminium trihydrate the same as aluminium oxide or alumina?
No. Aluminium trihydrate is aluminium hydroxide, not aluminium oxide. Calcined alumina and bare alumina are a different product family. If you need aluminium oxide powder, use that requirement explicitly rather than ordering ATH.
Which ATH grade should I request for flame-retardant plastics or cable compounds?
State the polymer system, target loading, particle size range and whether a surface-treated grade is preferred. Flame-retardant ATH is commonly used in halogen-free wire and cable and other polymer compounds, but suitability depends on the formulation and processing method.
What specifications should a buyer provide for aluminium hydroxide powder?
Include the intended application plus any required limits for Al(OH)3 or Al2O3 equivalent content, particle size distribution, moisture, brightness and surface treatment. For an existing production grade, attach the current specification so the request can be matched more closely.
Can surface-modified ATH be quoted?
Yes. Say if untreated, ground, fine, ultrafine or surface-modified material is required, and name the polymer or coating system where known. Available treatment options and commercial details are confirmed with the quotation.
What details are needed for an aluminium trihydrate price enquiry?
Provide the grade or form, particle size, surface-treatment preference, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred pack format and documentation needs so the quotation can address the full requirement.
