Polymer Tailoring NP Flame Retardant
Categories: Other Engineering Material; Additive/Filler for Polymer

Material Notes: NP is our most technically advanced additive, a fully formulated one-shot intumescent flame retardant. Set apart by its high thermal stability, NP is the flame-retardant additive of choice for PP, PE, HDPE, EVA, EBA, EEA, etc., whilst also very effective in paints, mastics, coatings, sealants and adhesives. We are working towards achieving REACH registration for NP in 2018.
  • Low compounding temperatures, saving energy/money
  • High phosphorus content
  • Fully-formulated intumescent system
  • High efficiency – UL94 V0 at 1.6mmin PP at 25% loading
  • Results in low density, high elongation and high impact strength FR compounds
  • Limited water solubility
  • Good thermal stability
  • Small particle size
  • Neutral pH in aqueous systems
Typical Applications: NP is the ideal halogen-free flame retardant for olefinic polymers such as PP, LDPE, HDPE and their various co- and terpolymers. It is also very effective in paints, mastics, coatings, sealants and adhesives employed in the building and construction industries.
