Applications |
|
Exolit OP 1314 was developed especially for use in polyamides. It is suited for both glass-fibre-reinforced and unreinforced grades. The flame retarded polyamide compounds exhibit very good physical and electrical properties. |
|
Formulation |
|
In glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide 6 or 6.6, a dosage of 15 to 20 % (by wt.) Exolit OP 1314 is usually sufficient to obtain the UL 94 V-0 classification for electrical components (at 1.6 as well as 0.8 mm thickness). Subject to the polymer grade, processing conditions and glass- fibre reinforcement the dosage of the flame retardant may vary. |
|
Processing |
|
Before incorporating Exolit OP 1314, it is important to predry the polyamide as usual. If possible, the resulting moisture content should be below 0.1 % (by wt.). Predrying of Exolit OP 1314 is not necessary. However, predrying (e.g. 4 h at 120 °C) is recommended, if even very low moisture contents must be avoided. |

Product Description
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 heatinsulation 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.
