Features Of Clariant Exolit AP 423 Ammonium Polyphosphate Flame Retardant

  1. High-purity, halogen-free ammonium polyphosphate (APP) with optimized particle size distribution for excellent dispersion in polymer matrices.

  2. Thermally stable up to 250 °C, enabling compatibility with processing temperatures of engineering thermoplastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene.

  3. Intumescent mode of action: forms a protective char layer upon exposure to heat or flame, significantly reducing heat release and smoke generation.

  4. Low water solubility and high hydrolytic stability, ensuring long-term performance retention in humid or outdoor applications.

  5. REACH-compliant and free of heavy metals, antimony, and halogens—supporting sustainable material design and regulatory compliance.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit AP 423 Ammonium Polyphosphate Flame Retardant

  1. Polypropylene (PP) compounds for automotive interior parts including dashboards, trim, and seat components.

  2. Low-density and linear low-density polyethylene (LDPE/LLDPE) cables and wire insulation requiring UL 1581 V-0 rating.

  3. Wood-plastic composites (WPC) used in decking, cladding, and outdoor furniture.

  4. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) for flexible flame-retarded profiles and seals.

  5. Intumescent coatings and mastics for passive fire protection of structural steel and cables.
