Liquid flame retardants for epoxy resins
our EXOLIT™ EP line for halogen-free safety and advanced processing
Epoxy resins with built-in fire safety and full-out compatibility with modern applications
From 5G phone circuits to composites for e-mobility, epoxy resins are used for some of the most cutting-edge applications. The liquid non-halogenated flame retardants from our Exolit™ EP line match this with a new level of compatibility and safety.
Low viscosity – high phosphorus content and sustainability
Exolit™ EP 360 and EP 390 are phosphorus flame retardants incorporated into low-viscosity epoxy resin. This gives them broad compatibility with these types of thermosets, to which EP 360 also brings mechanics-enhancing epoxy functionality.
Due to their low viscosity, the solutions are ideal for modern solvent-free processing techniques, and their particle-free nature makes them attractive for thin E&E applications. They combine high efficiency with favorable environmental and health properties like low fire smoke toxicity, predestining them for use in transportation composites and other high-standard applications.
