Features Of Clariant Exolit OP 560 Flame Retardant

  1. Halogen-free phosphorus-based flame retardant offering excellent fire performance without corrosive decomposition products.

  2. Designed for high thermal stability, enabling processing at elevated temperatures typical in engineering thermoplastics.

  3. Low volatility and minimal plate-out, ensuring consistent extrusion and injection molding performance.

  4. Good compatibility with polyamide (PA6, PA66) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) matrices.

  5. Enables UL94 V-0 rating at low to medium loadings (typically 10–15 wt%) in reinforced and unreinforced nylons.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit OP 560 Flame Retardant

  1. Electrical and electronic components requiring stringent flammability compliance (e.g., connectors, switches, housings).

  2. Automotive under-the-hood parts such as sensor housings, fuse boxes, and ignition system components.

  3. Consumer appliance housings and internal structural parts where halogen-free solutions are mandated.

  4. Industrial automation enclosures and power distribution modules subject to IEC 60695 and UL standards.
