Features Of Clariant Exolit AP 422 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-temperature engineering thermoplastics.

  3. Low water solubility and superior hydrolytic stability, ensuring long-term performance in humid environments and during processing.

  4. Halogen-free and compliant with major environmental regulations including RoHS and REACH.

  5. Good dispersion characteristics in polymer matrices, supporting uniform flame-retardant performance without compromising mechanical properties.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit AP 422 Flame Retardant

  1. Polypropylene (PP) for automotive interior components requiring UL 94 V-0 rating.

  2. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) used in cable jacketing and flexible industrial hoses.

  3. Engineering plastics such as polyamide 6 (PA6) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) for electrical connectors and housings.

  4. Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) for outdoor decking and cladding where fire safety and weather resistance are critical.

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