Features Of Clariant Exolit AP 740 Flame Retardant

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

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 300 °C, supporting high-temperature polymer processing such as polyamide and PBT compounding.

  3. Low water solubility and hydrolytic stability, ensuring consistent performance during storage and melt processing.

  4. Good dispersion in engineering thermoplastics, enabling uniform flame retardancy without compromising mechanical properties.

  5. UL 94 V-0 rated at low loading levels (typically 18–22 wt%) in glass-fiber-reinforced polyamides.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit AP 740 Flame Retardant

  1. Flame-retarded polyamide 6 and 66 compounds for automotive under-hood components.

  2. Electrical and electronic housings requiring UL 94 V-0 and CTI >400 V performance.

  3. Industrial connectors and power distribution parts exposed to elevated operating temperatures.

  4. 3D-printed functional prototypes using flame-retardant PA12 and PA6 blends.

  5. Consumer appliance casings where low smoke density and halogen-free formulation are mandated.
