Exolit® OP 1230 is a white, fine grained powder based on an organic phosphinate. The product is non-hygroscopic and it is insoluble in water and organic solvents. Exolit® OP flame retardants for polyamides are all based on aluminum diethyl-phosphinate (= DEPAL). The pure substance DEPAL is sold as Exolit OP 1230 and in combination with synergists as Exolit® OP 13xx types. Exolit® OP 1230 is the first non-halogenated flame retardant which can withstand the demanding requirements of this high end segment of engineering plastics.
