Flame Retardants

PAADP-20 Organic Phosphonate Halogen Free Flame Retardant Masterbatch

PAADP-20 is a halogen free organic phosphonate flame retardant masterbatch designed for high-temperature engineering plastics. It provides ≥17.5 percent phosphorus, strong char-forming efficiency, and excellent thermal stability with decomposition above 350 °C. Its formulation delivers low smoke, high CTI performance, and minimal impact on mechanical strength. PAADP-20 supports UL94 V-0 ratings at low addition levels in PA, PBT, PET, polyester alloys, and glass-fiber-reinforced systems.

Attributes
