Product Overview

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) is an inorganic polymeric phosphate salt with phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic flame retardant properties. It appears as white or off-white crystalline powder, non-toxic, odorless, and halogen-free. As a high-efficiency environment-friendly flame retardant, it is widely used in intumescent coatings, plastics, rubber, and construction materials. The product is available in low/medium/high polymerization grades; high-polymerization (Phase II, n>1000) is the mainstream for industrial use due to low water solubility and high thermal stability.

Product Features

  • High Purity & Stability: P2O5 ≥68%, N ≥13%; thermal decomposition temperature >250°C.
  • Halogen-Free & Low Smoke: Non-toxic, low corrosion, minimal smoke release during combustion.
  • Controllable Solubility: Low polymerization (n<20) water-soluble; high polymerization (n>20) water-insoluble.
  • Good Compatibility: Easily blended with carbon sources (e.g., pentaerythritol) and blowing agents.
  • Strict QC: COA, MSDS, TDS provided; complies with EU REACH and RoHS.

Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical Properties

  1. Appearance: White/off-white crystalline powder
  2. Molecular Formula: (NH4)n+2PnO3n+1 (n=30–1000)
  3. Purity: P2O5 ≥68%, N ≥13%
  4. Density: 1.74 g/cm3 (20°C)
  5. pH Value: 4.5–6.5 (10% aqueous solution)
  6. Solubility: High polymerization: <0.1 g/100 mL (25°C, water)
  7. Decomposition Temperature: >250°C
  8. Moisture Content: ≤0.5%

Chemical Properties

  1. Flame Retardant Mechanism: Releases polyphosphoric acid at high temperature, promoting char formation; expands into a porous carbon layer to insulate oxygen and heat.
  2. Stability: Stable in dry air; hydrolyzes slowly in moisture; decomposes above 250°C releasing NH3.
  3. Incompatibility: Avoid strong bases, strong oxidants, and prolonged moisture exposure.

Applications

  1. Intumescent Fire Coatings: For steel structures, wood, and building materials (main acid source).
  2. Plastics & Polymers: PP, PE, EVA, PU foams, and thermoplastics (halogen-free flame retardant).
  3. Construction Materials: Fireproof boards, insulation materials, and sealants.
  4. Textiles & Paper: Flame retardant treatment for cotton, linen, and paper products.
  5. Agriculture: Slow-release nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer (low polymerization grade).

Storage & Transportation

Storage

  • Conditions: Cool, dry, ventilated warehouse; tightly sealed to prevent moisture and caking.
  • Temperature: 10–25°C; avoid direct sunlight and high humidity.
  • Shelf Life: 24 months (original packaging).

Transportation

  • Classification: Non-hazardous goods.
  • Packaging: 25kg/bag (inner plastic, outer woven); 500kg/1000kg big bag optional.
  • Precautions: Avoid collision, extrusion, rain, and moisture; do not mix with oxidants.

Operation Notes

  • Wear dust mask, safety goggles, and chemical-resistant gloves.
  • Operate in well-ventilated areas; avoid dust inhalation.
  • In case of skin/eye contact, rinse with plenty of water immediately.

Regulatory Information

  • EINECS: 269-789-9
  • HS Code: 28353990
  • Compliance: REACH, RoHS, GB 14907-2018 (fire coatings)
