Flame retardant ammonium polyphosphate APP (n=1000) is an inorganic phosphorus based flame retardant with a chemical formula of(NH₄)ₙ₊₂PₙO₃ₙ₊₁(n=1000), belonging to ultra-high molecular weight insoluble ammonium polyphosphate. Its appearance is white nanoscale powder (particle size D50=2-5 μ m), with extremely high thermal stability (decomposition temperature>400 ℃), moisture absorption<0.1%, and flame retardant efficiency increased by more than 30%. It has high content of P and N flame retardant elements .Flame retardant can be used in intumescent fireproof coatings, such as polyurethane, UP resin and epoxy resin. Flame retardant ammonium polyphosphate APP(n=1000) can also be used in the retardant of fiber, wood and plastic products. Due to its high molecular weight(n>1000) and good heat stability, it can be used as main ingredient of expanding retardant thermoplastic. Especially used in the PP achieving UL94-V0 for electronic unit and intumescent fire retardant coatings.

Core Technology:
Advantages of ultra-high molecular weight:
A polymerization degree of n=1000 forms a dense network like molecular structure, which, compared to ordinary APP (n=200-500):
Improved migration resistance by 5 times, no precipitation or crystallization after long-term use;
Improved thermal stability by over 100 ℃, able to withstand high temperature environments (such as industrial kilns, aerospace engine peripheral materials);
Better compatibility with polymer substrates, forming a "molecular level flame retardant network" after dispersion, without affecting the transparency and mechanical properties of the material.
Triple flame retardant mechanism:
1. Gas phase flame retardant: releases a large amount of ammonia gas (NH3) at high temperatures, diluting the oxygen concentration to below the critical combustion value;
2. Condensed phase flame retardant: Generate a phosphoric acid polyphosphate melt layer, covering the surface of the material to block heat conduction;
3. Free radical capture: Capture active free radicals such as hydroxyl (· OH) and hydrogen (· H) generated during the combustion process to terminate the chain reaction.
