- Product Benefits
- Non-halogenated additive flame retardant system based on ammonium polyphosphate which develops its effectiveness through phosphorus/nitrogen synergism and intumescence
- May be used in a range of thermoset resins, especially unsaturated polyester resin, acrylic resins, epoxy or phenolics
- Suitable both for coatings and reinforced materials
- Low smoke density
- In polyester gel coats, important standards like DIN EN 13501-1 or DIN 5510 S4 SR2 ST2 can be passed
- Can be used alone or in combination with synergists like aluminum hydroxide in composites
- Very effective in methacrylate-stirene dissolved polyester resins
- Non-halogenated flame retardant with favorable environmental and health profile

- Product Applications
- Intumescent coatings
- Exolit AP 740 may be used in a range of thermoset resins, especially unsaturated polyester resin, acrylic resins, epoxy or phenolics. It is suitable both for coatings and reinforced materials. In addition to primary effects of fire such as spread of flames and residual length, secondary effects such as smoke density and formation of toxic smoke is of interest.
- Using Exolit AP 740 a low smoke density is achieved. By the addition of Exolit AP 740 in polyester gel coats important standards like DIN EN 13501-1 or DIN 5510 S4 SR2 ST2 can be passed. In composites Exolit AP 740 can be used alone or in combination with synergists like aluminum hydroxide.
- Formulations and achievable flame retardant effect
- Exolit AP 740 is very effective in methacrylate-stirene dissolved polyester resins.
- Classifications:
- UL 94 V-0 (1.6 mm): > 30 phr* Exolit AP 740
- DIN 5510 S4 SR2 ST2: > 30 phr* Exolit AP 740
- NF 92-501 class M1: > 50 phr* Exolit AP 740
- DIN EN 13501-1: > 75 phr* Exolit AP 740
- ABD 0031 Airbus Industries requirements for interior parts: Passed with 50 phr
- In stirenic polyester resins Exolit AP 740 can be combined with aluminum hydroxide to reduce the overall filler content necessary to pass different flammability standards. In these systems, Exolit AP 740 is normally added at 15 - 25 parts and aluminium hydroxide at 50 - 150 parts per hundred resin.
