Ciba® MELAPUR® 200

Halogen free melamine based flame retardant for glass fiber reinforced PA66

Characterization MELAPUR 200 (melamine polyphosphate) is a salt of melamine and polyphosphoric acid, suitable as flame retardant for glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66.

Chemical name Melamine-polyphosphate

CAS number 218768-84-4

Applications MELAPUR 200 is a melamine based halogen free flame retardant for glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66

Features/benefits MELAPUR 200, melamine polyphosphate, is a halogen-free flame retardant specially developed for glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66. As a white powder it opens up new and broader color schemes for flame retarded glass fiber reinforced PA 66. The mechanism is based on intumescence. At exposure to fire a strong and stable char is formed which protects the polymer and prevents further flame propagation. The good balance between intumescence and thermal stability of MELAPUR 200 provides a processing window of up to 320 oC. Excellent health and safety data offer additional handling and processing advantages. Code: MELAPUR 200/70 MELAPUR 200 Product forms Appearance: White powder White powder
