Features Of Clariant Exolit AP 742 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 injection molding and extrusion.

  3. Low water solubility and good hydrolytic stability, ensuring consistent performance in humid environments and during storage.

  4. Enables UL 94 V-0 rating at low loadings (typically 18–22 wt%) in polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).

  5. Minimal impact on mechanical properties—preserves tensile strength, impact resistance, and surface appearance of finished parts.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit AP 742 Flame Retardant

  1. Electrical and electronic housings requiring RoHS-compliant, halogen-free flame retardancy.

  2. Automotive interior components including dashboards, trim parts, and connector housings.

  3. Consumer appliance casings such as power tools, vacuum cleaners, and kitchen appliances.

  4. Industrial control enclosures and junction boxes exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
