Switzerland-based chemicals company Clariant will present its phosphinate-based Exolit OP range and Exolit AP range of halogen free flame retardants (HFFR) for transport and construction applications at JEC Europe.

Designed initially for the demanding and innovative applications of the electronic and electrical markets, the Exolit OP range offers high thermal stability and good property profiles at comparably low dosage also for challenging transport applications, such as railway rolling stock and airplanes.

The Exolit AP range based on Ammonium Polyphosphate represents high quality with tailor-made formulations for various thermoset resins used in fiber glass reinforced composites for construction and transportation. The company added that all products are fully compliant with current WEEE and RoHS regulations.

"Clariant is committed to supporting the increasing need for safer fire protection based on more environmentally-compatible and sustainable solutions. With our new Exolit products we make our best effort to capture these requirements in application-specific grades," comments Adrian Beard, Head of Marketing for Flame Retardants at Clariant. "We see exciting potential for our Exolit product range within the transport and construction sectors, in addition to the E&E sector."

JEC Europe composite show will be held in Paris, France from March 11-13.
