Clariant Exolit OP560 Reactive Flame Retardant

Clariant Exolit OP560 is a reactive phosphorus-based flame retardant for unsaturated polyesters and vinyl esters. It chemically bonds into the polymer backbone, offering permanent fire protection without leaching or blooming. Ideal for composites requiring UL94 V-0 rating, it maintains mechanical properties and processability while enhancing char formation and reducing smoke emission.

Features Of Clariant Exolit OP560 Reactive Flame Retardant

  1. Reactive phosphorus-based flame retardant chemically bound into polyurethane (PU) and epoxy polymer backbones.

  2. Provides permanent flame resistance without leaching or migration during service life.

  3. Enables UL 94 V-0 rating in rigid and flexible PU foams at low loading levels (typically 10–15 wt%).

  4. Minimal impact on mechanical properties, foam density, and processing viscosity compared to additive alternatives.

  5. Halogen-free formulation supporting environmental compliance and low smoke/toxicity requirements.

Typical Applications Of Clariant Exolit OP560 Reactive Flame Retardant

  1. Rigid polyurethane foam for building insulation panels and sandwich cores.

  2. Flexible polyurethane foam used in automotive seating and interior trim.

  3. Epoxy resin systems for electrical encapsulation and printed circuit board laminates.

  4. Cast polyurethane elastomers in transportation and industrial components.

  5. Reaction-injection molded (RIM) polyurethane parts requiring fire-safe performance.
