Polymer Tailoring NP
- Chemical Family
- Phosphates
Polymer Tailoring NP is our most technically advanced additive, a fully formulated one-shot intumescent flame retardant. Set apart by its high thermal stability, NP is the flame-retardant additive of choice for PP, PE, HDPE, EVA, EBA, EEA, etc., whilst also very effective in paints, mastics, coatings, sealants and adhesives. We are working towards achieving REACH registration for NP in 2018.
