- Product Benefits
- Non-halogenated flame retardant based on ammonium polyphosphate as main component, which develops its effectiveness through phosphorus/nitrogen synergism Shows high processing stability in contrast to similar competitive material
- Differs in its mode of action from non phosphorus-based flame retardants (e. g. brominated, chlorinated or mineral FRs like ATH) by achieving its effect through intumescence
- Particularly effective in thermoplastic polyolefins (e. g. polyolefin hotmelts), urethanes (e. g. integral skin foams, rigid foams, sealants), and epoxy resins (adhesives, sealants, structural laminates, gelcoats)
- Positive secondary fire effects such as low smoke density, lower formation of toxic smoke or corrosive gasses
- Non-halogenated flame retardant with favorable environmental and health profile

- Product Applications
- Exolit® AP 750 is particularly effective in thermoplastic polyolefins (e. g. polyolefin hotmelts), urethanes (e. g. integral skin foams, rigid foams, sealants) and epoxy resins (adhesives, sealants, structural laminates, gelcoats). For epoxy resins used in Electrical/Electronics application, other Exolit products can be recommended depending on certain requirements. Please contact us to diskuss your requirements in detail.
- Thanks to its intumescent behavior, the use of Exolit® AP 750 is particularly useful in epoxy based gelcoats or PU coatings. Beyond the reduced flammability of the gelcoat itself, the char foam created when exposed to flame may also further thermally insulate the underlaying substrate (e. g. a structural composite part). Depending on the fire test and classification to pass, the whole system (laminate + gelcoat) could pass the test by only adding Exolit® AP 750 in the gelcoat. For more demanding requirements (e. g. M1 according to NF P 92501), only minimal amounts of additional FR (e. g. ATH or Exolit AP 422) might be necessary to add into the laminates. To develop its effect, the intumescent gelcoat should be applied at a thickness of 0.5 - 1 mm.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
- Exolit AP 750 should be stored at room temperature in a dry place. Partially emptied containers should be carefully resealed after use.
- Although Exolit AP 750 is not hygroscopic by itself, it may still absorb some amounts of moisture due to its high surface area. Therefore, we recommend to store – especially opened bags – in a dry place. It is however usually not necessary to pre-dry the product before use. Minimum shelf life is 12 months from the date of shipping when stored according to the said conditions.
