Melamine phosphate flame retardant (MPP)

Melamine phosphate is a widely used, efficient, and environmentally friendly flame retardant utilized across various industrial applications. With the chemical formula C3H6N6·H3PO4, melamine phosphate is a white crystalline powder that combines the synergistic effects of nitrogen and phosphorus to provide excellent flame-retardant properties. It is highly valued for its ability to inhibit combustion, reduce smoke emission, and maintain material integrity during fire incidents.

Key Features:

1. Highly Efficient Flame Retardancy:
- Melamine phosphate works through a combination of mechanisms, including the release of water, nitrogen, and phosphorus compounds, which form a char layer to inhibit combustion.
- It is effective in both gas-phase and condensed phase flame retardancy, making it suitable for a wide range of materials.

2. Low Smoke and Toxic Fumes:
- Produces minimal smoke and toxic gases during combustion, improving safety in fire scenarios.

3. Thermal Stability:
- Exhibits excellent thermal stability, maintaining its performance in high-temperature environments.

4. Environmentally Friendly:
- Free from heavy metals and halogens, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame retardants.

5. Compatibility:
- Can be easily incorporated into various polymers, plastics, and composite materials without compromising mechanical properties.

Applications:

  • Plastics and Polymers: Widely used in PVC, ABS, PC, and other thermoplastic and thermosetting resins.
  • Foams: Applied in polyurethane, polyisocyanurate (PIR), and other foam materials for fire-resistant insulation.
  • Textiles: Utilized in fire-retardant fabrics for upholstery, curtains, and workwear.
  • Composites: Incorporated into glass-reinforced plastics, wood-plastic composites, and other engineered materials.
  • Electrical and Electronic Equipment: Used in cables, connectors, and other E&E components to meet fire safety standards.
