Are you considering to switch from brominated flame retardants (with antimony trioxide) to halogen-free? Consider Exolit™ OP.

Exolit OP, based on organic phosphinate technology, is Clariant's high-performance non-halogenated flame retardant range for engineering plastics. This innovative portfolio not only provides superior flame retardancy but also maintains the mechanical properties of materials like polyamide (PA), perfect for demanding electrical and electronic applications. As a suitable alternative to brominated flame retardants (BFR) with antimony trioxide (ATO), what sets Exolit OP apart is its ability to maintain performance properties throughout the product lifecycle and after recycling. The portfolio combines excellent fire safety performance with high mechanical strength and proven recyclability, while being halogen-free. Suitable end applications are e.g. consumer electronics, electrical installations (connectors, circuit breakers), energy storage, household appliances as well as transport applications like E-mobility, trains and aviation.

Our phosphinate-based technology has become the state-of-the-art solution for engineering plastics because of

• High flame-retardant efficiency
• Maintained mechanical properties of target polymers
• Halogen-free chemistry
• Recyclability
