Ammonium polyphosphate, or APP for short, is an important inorganic compound and a flame retardant that can offer to global buyers. It promotes char formation and reduces the release of flammable gases, and is widely used in the plastics, coatings, textiles, and construction industries. Furthermore, APP is halogen-free, making it more environmentally friendly and safer.
Ammonium polyphosphate does not contain halogens. Halogenated flame retardants, on the other hand, decompose during combustion to produce toxic and corrosive gases such as hydrogen halides. However, these gases pose less harm to the surrounding environment and human health, and the resulting smoke is less likely to be produced, reducing the lethality of smoke in fires.
Moreover, because it does not produce corrosive substances, it has less corrosive impact on metal materials and electronic and electrical equipment, thus providing a higher level of protection.
Our APP complies with EU RoHS and REACH environmental standards, and its environmental impact is relatively small, whether during the raw material production stage or the degradation stage.
is an additive flame retardant. As a professional flame retardant manufacturer, Taixing can customize formulations for different situations, one of the most obvious being the dosage. The typical dosage is around 10%–30%. Higher is not always better; it needs to be determined based on the actual flame retardant effect requirements, as well as the mechanical properties and processability of the material.
Different polymer systems require consideration of the type of surface modification and polymer matrix compatibility when adding flame retardants. A one-size-fits-all approach is not possible. We will provide suggestions and solutions based on your specific situation.
Properly adjusting the formulation of ammonium polyphosphate is essential. Thermal stability, processing technology, and the mechanical properties after processing are all factors to consider before setting up the formulation.
