Features Of Clariant Exolit AP 423 Flame Retardant

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

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 280 °C, enabling compatibility with high-melt-processing polymers such as polypropylene and polyethylene.

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

  4. Halogen-free and red phosphorus-free formulation, supporting compliance with RoHS, REACH, and UL 94 V-0/V-2 requirements.

  5. Good dispersion in thermoplastic matrices without requiring surface treatment, facilitating efficient compounding and extrusion.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit AP 423 Flame Retardant

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

  2. Wire and cable jacketing compounds based on polyolefin blends requiring low smoke and halogen-free solutions.

  3. Electrical enclosures and housings for consumer electronics and industrial equipment.

  4. Building & construction materials including insulation composites and rigid foam board additives.

  5. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulations used in flexible cables and appliance parts.
