Exolit® OP 935
For more details see our Innovation Spotlight video.
Product Information
- Based on an organic metal phosphinate
- Not hygroscopic, insoluble in water and common organic solvents like acetone, dichloromethane, MEK, toluene
- Good hydrolysis resistance
- Can easily be dispersed in solvents like acetone or MEK
- Halogen-free flame retardant with a high phosphorus content which is suitable for use in both thermoplastic and thermoset applications to meet the most stringent fire retardancy standards
- Suited for thermoplastic elastomers for cable applications
- Particularly suitable for very thin adhesive applications like flexible printed circuit boards due to its specifically designed particle size distribution; can be readily dispersed in epoxy resin systems when a high shear mixer is used
- Low smoke toxicity
- Non-halogenated flame retardant with favorable environmental and health profile
