PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF NANOMETRIC, MONODISPERSED AND STABLE MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE AND PRODUCT OBTAINED

摘要

The invention relates to a method for preparing nanometric particles of magnesium hydroxide, having an average diameter of between 90 and 110 nm or in the 20 to 160 nm range and having monodispersion characteristics and stability over periods longer than 12 months in a wide range of concentrations. The method comprises three phases, namely: a reaction phase performed in two steps, i.e. a first maturation step carried out in a micromixed zone and a second purification step involving stabilisation of the suspension; a second phase in which the particles are matured using a chemical-mechanical treatment; and a third phase which is designed to purify and concentrate the material and to prepare said material for integration into the desired medium. The particles obtained can be redispersed in different media, such as alkyd, phenolic, nitrocellulose, polyurethane, vinyl and acrylic resins, water, alcohols and a wide variety of organic materials and polymers such as high- and low-density polyethylene, nylon, ABS and/or mixtures thereof.
