Melamine phosphate
Melamine phosphate is a salt of melamine and phosphoric acid, suitable for use as a component for formulating intumescent flame retardarding systems.
Product forms
White powder
Applications
Melamine phosphate, is mainly used in intumescent flame retardant systems for paints and polymers, combining both the melamine and catalyst functionality. Other applications are in thermosets, both unsaturated polyester and epoxies, and in textile treatment. In self-charring materials such as cellulose or epoxy ,melamine phosphates can be used as such without addition of other flame retardants.
Benefits
Melamine phosphate is a halogen-free flame retardant. Above ∼ 200 °C melamine phosphate reacts to melamine pyrophosphate, releasing water, which will result in a heat sink effect.
Melamine phosphate is a halogen free FR and offers significant advantages in terms of fire safety, i. e. lower smoke density, lower smoke toxicity and less corrosive gases.
