Features Of Clariant Exolit OP 1240 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 water solubility and hydrolytic stability, ensuring long-term performance in humid or outdoor applications.

  4. Good dispersion in polyolefins and engineering thermoplastics without significant impact on mechanical properties.

  5. Enables V-0 rating in UL 94 tests at low loading levels (typically 18–22 wt% in PP).

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit OP 1240 Flame Retardant

  1. Flame-retarded polypropylene (PP) for automotive interior components.

  2. Electrical and electronic housings requiring RoHS-compliant, halogen-free solutions.

  3. Cable jacketing compounds based on polyolefin blends for low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) requirements.

  4. Household appliance parts where UL 94 V-0 and glow-wire resistance (GWIT ≥ 750 °C) are critical.
