How has MHE been tested?
MHE has been tested and classified harmless by the Swedish Chemicals Inspectorate in 2003. Comprehensive testing of applications in various materials have been carried out and are constantly on-going at public toll processing facilities in Europe, including IFP Research with its team of internationally renowned flame retardant experts, and Hosokawa Micron, specialised in equipment and systems for mechanical and thermal processing of dry and wet powders. 3. What does MHE look like? MHE in solid form is a fine fruit salt powder, which is produced in varying granularity, depending on application needs. In aqua solution, MHE is transparent or carries a very light yellow colour. 4. How much MHE is needed to achieve flame retardancy according to standard requirement? It depends on the material it is applied to. Generally, a weight percentage (in powder or aqua solution) of between 7-10% is needed, while certain specific materials may require up to 15%. 5. Is MHE UV-resistant? Yes. Trials hav
