Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of ICL FR-370?
A: ICL FR-370 is a reactive phosphorus-based flame retardant designed for incorporation into polymer backbones—particularly polyurethanes and epoxy resins—via covalent bonding during synthesis, offering durable, non-migrating flame resistance.
Q2: Is ICL FR-370 suitable for flexible or rigid polyurethane foams?
A: Yes—it is widely used in both flexible slabstock and rigid insulation foams, where its reactivity enables uniform distribution and long-term stability without bloom or leaching under thermal or mechanical stress.
Q3: How does ICL FR-370 affect processing and final physical properties?
A: It generally maintains good compatibility with standard polyol/isocyanate systems and has minimal impact on viscosity, gel time, or foam density. Final products retain balanced mechanical performance—including tensile strength and elongation—while achieving enhanced fire safety.
Q4: Can ICL FR-370 be used in combination with other flame retardants?
A: Yes—it is often synergistically combined with nitrogen-containing additives or inorganic fillers to enhance char formation and reduce total additive loading, though compatibility testing in the target formulation is recommended to ensure homogeneity and performance stability.
Q5: What are typical handling and storage recommendations?
A: Store in original sealed containers at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. As a reactive liquid, it should be handled using standard industrial hygiene practices—gloves and eye protection are advised during transfer and dosing.
