Abstract
Improved fire retardant fillers for plastics materials are described which consist of magnesium hydroxide particles of reduced average surface area. The particles are produced by contacting particles of magnesium hydroxide of a relatively high average surface area with an etching solution for a time sufficient to dissolve at least some of the particles and to leave particles of reduced average surface area.
