TEP—Triethyl Phosphate

Low-viscosity halogen-free FR and reactive diluent for rigid polyurethane, epoxy laminates, and coatings. As a reactive FR in PU systems, TEP integrates into the polymer network during cure. Also reduces viscosity in isocyanate blends during processing. CAS 78-40-0.

MPP—Melamine Polyphosphate

High-phosphorus N-P synergistic FR for engineering thermoplastics. Thermal stability above 572°F (300°C) allows processing in PA and PBT without degradation. V-0 ratings achievable at 15–25% loading in suitable matrices. CAS 218768-84-4.

APP—Ammonium Polyphosphate

Primary active ingredient in intumescent coating systems. On heating, APP releases phosphoric acid (char formation) and ammonia (blowing effect). Phase II grades provide improved moisture resistance. For intumescent paints, sealants, and PP compounding. CAS 68333-79-9.
