Ammonium polyphosphate is an inorganic salt of 19th, 2018
polyphosphoric acid and ammonia. The chain length (n) of this
polymeric compound is both variable and branched, and can be Agrochemicals/Pesticides

Information in China,
APP is a stable, non-volatile compound. In contact with water APP Updated on October
it slowly gets hydrolysed to monoammonium phosphate 29th, 2018
(orthophosphate). Higher temperatures and prolonged exposure
to water will accelerate the hydrolysis. Long chain APP starts to
decompose at temperatures above 300°C to polyphosphoric acid
and ammonia. Short chain APP will begin to decompose at
temperatures above 150°C .

There are two main families of ammonium polyphosphate : Indoxacarb 90%TC,

Crystal phase I APP (APP I) and Crystal phase II APP (APP II). 95%TC, 150g/L SC

Crystal phase I APP (APP I) is characterized by a variable Thiamethoxam

Crystal phase II APP (APP II) As shown in figure 2 below, APP

II structure is cross linked/branched. The molecular weight is
much higher than APP I with "n" value higher than 1000. APP II
has a higher thermal stability (decomposition starts at
approximately 300°C ) and lower water solubility than APP I.

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and APP based systems

are very efficient halogen free flame retardants mainly used
in polyolefins (PE, PP), thermoset resins such as epoxy resins,
polyurethane, unsaturated polyester phenolic resins and others.
APP is an non-toxic, environmentally friendly material and it does
not generate additional quantities of smoke due to the unique
mechanism of "Intumescence".

Compared to other halogen free systems, APP requires lower

loadings. In thermoplastic formulations APP exhibits a good
processability, good retention of mechanical properties and good
electrical properties.

In thermosets, APP can be used in combination with ATH , which

allows a significant reduction of the total FR filler. These
combinations are used in construction and electrical applications.
The processability can be improved when the total filler grade is
reduced.

Budenheim has developed new coated APP grades, which today

extend their field of application due to their capacity to provide a
range of materials with an enhanced level of processability,
enhanced FR performances and improved long term properties.

Crystalline phase II ammonium polyphosphate is a kind of

environment protection nonhalogen flame-retardant cotaining N
and P. It has high polymerization degree good heat-stability and
small hydroscopicity. It deiffers from the halogen flame-retardant,
the expansion carbon film formed during burning shows the
flame-retardancy due to insulating heat and air There is low
smoke, low toxic and non melting drop. So it is a kind of high
efficiency environment protection inorganic flame-retardant.

Crystalling phase II ammonium polyphosphate has a wide range

of use. It is suitable for plastic (PP, PE, PVC etc.), polyester,
rubber, various advanced expansion fire-retardant paint.
