HOFNIL-FR 264

Description

HOFNIL-FR 264 is a blend of halogen-free intumescent flame retardant specifically designed for use in
polyolefins, particularly polypropylene (PP) and its copolymers. This white, odorless, and tasteless powder is
known for its high efficiency and environmental safety. It is often utilized in conjunction with other flame
retardants such as Melamine Cyanurate (MCA) or Melamine Polyphosphate (MPP) to enhance its flame-retardant
properties. The intumescent mechanism of HOFNIL-FR 264 allows it to form a protective char layer when
exposed to heat, thereby preventing the spread of flames and reducing the release of toxic gases. Its nitrogen and
phosphorus composition contributes significantly to its effectiveness, making it a preferred choice for applications
requiring stringent fire safety standards.
