FlameGard™ is a ground Bayer hydrated alumina designed for specific application in polymeric adhesive backing of tufted carpeting to provide a level of flame retardancy to the carpet system. It is specially ground to maintain relatively coarse particle distributions in the median range of 22 to 26 microns and provides a high loading potential in high viscosity backing compounds. FlameGard ATH has a slight off-white or ivory color that is acceptable in most applications.
