[Description]
APP is a non-halogen flame retardant. It acts as flame retardant by intumescence mechanism. When APP are exposed to fire or heat, it decomposes to polymeric phosphoric acid and ammonia. The polyphosphoric acid reacts with hydroxyl groups to form a non stable phosphate ester. Following dehydrated of the phosphate ester, a carbon foam is built up on the surface and acts as an insulation layer.

Characteristics: high polymerization degree, good heat-stability, low hygroscopicity. Low fume, low toxicity, melting drop free.

[Application]
in plastics (PP, PVC, PE, etc.), polyester, rubber, and expandable fireproof coatings.

[Packaging]
Plastic woven bag with liner. Net weight 25Kg.
