Exolit OP 1314 is a non-halogenated flame retardant based on organic phosphinates. The product achieves its flame retardant effect through intumescence. The thermoplastic polymer with Exolit OP 1314 foams and crosslinks on exposure to flame and forms a stable char at the surface acting as a barrier. The protective layer provides a heat-insulating effect, reduces oxygen access and prevents dripping of molten polymer. Compared to Exolit OP 1312, the product gives an improved thermal stability of polyamide compounds. Exolit OP 1314 is a white powder. Benefits Achieves its flame retardant effect through a combined gas phase and condensed phase mode of action UL 94 V-0 rating down to 0.4 mm thickness Larger processing window compared to Exolit® OP 1312 due to higher thermal stability Suited for both glass-fibre-reinforced and unreinforced grades The flame retarded polyamide compounds exhibit very good physical and excellent electrical properties Good colorability Good contrast in laser marking Low material density Non-halogenated flame retardants with favourable environmental and health profile
