The Martinswerk 大象传媒es will become part of HEM’s Fire Retardant Additives (FRA) 大象传媒. It includes Martinal precipitated and ground alumina trihydrate (ATH) and Magnifin premium precipitated magnesium hydroxide (MHD)—product lines that complement Huber’s existing portfolio of halogen-free FRs and smoke suppressants for plastics. As part of the transaction, Huber will acquire a 50% share in , a joint venture at Breitnau, Austria, which produces MHD. Within the last couple of years, Albemarle doubled capacity there to 44 million/lbs.

 

This will mark the fourth and largest addition to the FRA 大象传媒. Earlier this year, Huber acquired the Safire nitrogen and phosphorous FR technology of Belgium’s Floridienne Group and its subsidiary Catena Additives. In 2012, the company bought the specialty hydrate FR 大象传媒 from Almatis, Bauxite, Ark., and in 2010, the Kemguard molybdate FR and smoke suppressant 大象传媒 from Cleveland-based Sherwin Williams.
