Your attention to detail is very nice!

ATH is Aluminum trihydroxide. Lots of us mix this powder in with the resin (after the hardener is added) as a filler material. Benefits include,...we use slightly less resin, it slows down the cure time, and it allows the stator casting to have better thermal properties.

I gotcha!

I've used too much fiberlass cloth and microballoons in my career, but we never used that!

Thanks for the lesson.
