Features Of Clariant Exolit AP 462 Flame Retardant

  1. Halogen-free, phosphorus-based intumescent flame retardant for enhanced environmental and regulatory compliance.

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

  3. Low smoke and low toxicity during combustion, meeting stringent fire safety requirements (e.g., UL 94 V-0, EN 45545-2).

  4. Good dispersion and compatibility in polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and engineering plastics.

  5. Minimal impact on mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact resistance after compounding.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit AP 462 Flame Retardant

  1. Wire and cable insulation and jacketing materials for building and transportation infrastructure.

  2. Interior components in rail vehicles, including seat shells, panels, and floor coverings.

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

  4. Automotive under-the-hood components requiring UL 94 V-0 rated flame performance.

  5. Flexible and rigid polyolefin-based profiles for construction and architectural applications.
