Features Of Clariant Exolit AP 420 Flame Retardant

  1. High-efficiency intumescent flame retardant based on ammonium polyphosphate (APP) with optimized particle size distribution.

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 300 °C, enabling compatibility with high-melt-processing polymers.

  3. Low water solubility and hydrolysis resistance ensure long-term performance in humid environments and during processing.

  4. Halogen-free formulation supports compliance with RoHS, REACH, and UL 94 V-0 requirements for many polymer systems.

  5. Good dispersion characteristics in polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers, and engineering plastics without significant viscosity increase.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit AP 420 Flame Retardant

  1. Flame-retarded polypropylene (PP) for automotive interior components (e.g., dashboards, pillar trims).

  2. Wire and cable jacketing compounds based on ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) and thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV).

  3. Electrical enclosures and housings made from polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyamide 66 (PA66).

  4. Intumescent coatings and sealants for passive fire protection in construction applications.

  5. Flexible and rigid foams used in furniture and bedding requiring low-smoke, halogen-free fire performance.
