Features Of Clariant Exolit OP 1248 Polyester Halogen-Free Flame Retardant

  1. Highly effective phosphorus-based flame retardant specifically engineered for unsaturated polyester (UP) resins.

  2. Halogen-free formulation meets stringent environmental and regulatory requirements, including RoHS and REACH compliance.

  3. Excellent compatibility with standard UP resin systems, enabling homogeneous dispersion without compromising mechanical properties.

  4. Enables UL 94 V-0 rating at low to medium loadings (typically 12–18 wt%) in cast and molded polyester components.

  5. Low volatility and thermal stability up to 220 °C supports conventional processing methods such as casting, centrifugal casting, and compression molding.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit OP 1248 Polyester Halogen-Free Flame Retardant

  1. Electrical enclosures and housings for industrial control and power distribution equipment.

  2. Railway interior components including wall panels, ceiling tiles, and ducting systems.

  3. Marine applications requiring fire-safe composite parts compliant with FTP Code and EN 45545-2 standards.

  4. Lighting fixtures and reflectors where low smoke and halogen-free performance are critical.

  5. Building and construction elements such as grilles, ducts, and decorative panels meeting Euroclass B-s1,d0 classification.
