Intumescent coatings
On account of its low water solubility, APP-1 is particularly suitable as an ”acid donor”
for intumescent coatings. Other essential components of intumescent systems include
a binder, a carbon donor (e.g. pentaerythritol) and a blowing agent (e.g. melamine). On exposure to flame, intumescent coatings form a carbonaceous foam which
effectively shields the underlying material from temperature increases. Steel structures coated with intumescent paints can meet the requirements of fire
resistance classes specified in EN, DIN, BS, ASTM and others. The application of APP-1 based intumescent coatings on wood or plastics enables
these materials to qualify for Building Material Class B (DIN EN 13501-1). APP-1 imparts a good flame-retardant effect to adhesives and sealants when it is
incorporated into the base formulation at the rate of 10 - 20 %. Polyurethane foams
APP-1 is a suitable non-halogenated flame retardant for polyurethane foams. If
handling of APP-1 as a solid is not possible we recommend the dosage of the flame
retardant by preparing an APP-1/polyol-suspension. Because of the low acid number of
APP-1, it is also possible to incorporate this flame retardant in an APP-1/isocyanate
suspension. To prevent the solids from settling, the APP-1 suspensions should be stirred or
circulated by pump. The stirrers commonly found in service tanks are adequate for this
purpose. Other applications
APP-1 has an excellent flame-retardant effect in cellulose-containing materials such as
paper and wood products. With chipboard products, the DIN EN 13501-1 classification
can be achieved by adding 15 - 20 % APP-1
Because of its high heat stability, APP-1 is an essential component in intumescent
formulations for thermoplastics, particularly polypropylene, for which the classification
UL 94-V0 is specified for applications in the electrical sector. Casting resins based on epoxy resins or unsaturated polyester resins achieve the
classification UL 94-V0 with APP-1
Safety and Handling
For regulatory details such as the classification and labeling as dangerous substances
or goods please refer to our corresponding material safety data sheet. Minimum shelf life is 12 months from the date of shipping when stored according to the
said conditions. Packing :APP-1is packed in 25 kg paper bags with polyethylene inliner. The standard
supply unit is a shrink-wrapped pallet with 40 bags weighing 1000 kg net. APP-1 can also be supplied in a variety of big bags, shrink-wrapped
