Product Description

Ammonium Polyphosphate Phase II For Water based intumescent coatings


1. Application

Ammonium Polyphosphate (APP), Cas No 68333-79-9, is an environment-friendly and halogen-free flame retardant. APP is the main constituent of many intumescent flame retardant systems: coatings, paints and engineering plastics.
Depending on the polymerization degree, there are two main families of ammonium polyphosphate: Crystal phase I APP (or APP I), and Crystal phase II APP (or APP II). 
- APP phase I has a short and linear chain (n < 100), it is more water sensitive (hydrolysis) and less thermally stable; actually it begins to decompose at temperatures above 150 °C. 
- The second family of Ammonium polyphosphate is the APP Phase II; which has an high polymerization degree, with n>1000, its structure is cross linked (branched), and it is an high-quality non-halogenated flame retardant. APP phase II, Ammonium polyphosphate, has an higher thermal stability (the decomposition starts at approximately 300°C) and lower water solubility than APP I.

APP phase II is probably one of the most effective non-halogen fire retardants in the market.
Main Applications: 
Solvent based and Water based intumescent coatings. 
Flame retardant for polyurethanes. 
Flame retardant for unsaturated polyesters. 
Flame retardant for epoxies. 
Flame retardant for acrylics.
