Exolit® OP 560

Exolit® OP 560 is a flame retardant that can be used for flexible polyurethane foams. It is a medium-viscosity liquid and it is based on a non-halogenated phosphorus polyol. The product is a reactive flame retardant which can be chemically reacted into the polymeric matrix. Therefore, very low fogging values can be achieved which meet the most stringent emission standards for PU flexible foams in the automotive industry.

Product Applications
  • Exolit® OP 560 is primarily designed for use in the production of special low fogging flexible polyurethane foams. The product is characterized by a high phosphorus content and high flame retardancy performance.
  • Exolit® OP 560 is a reactive flame retardant, designed to be chemically reacted into the polymeric matrix. When properly incorporated into the foam, very low fogging values can be achieved which meet the most stringent emission standards for PU flexible foams in the automotive industry.
  • Exolit® OP 560 should be added separately because it is only partially soluble in polyols with low hydroxyl numbers. As a reactive flame retardant it will hydrolyze slowly in the presence of water.
