UL94 V0 PP Fire Retardant Polypropylene Flame Retardant White Powder
P-N Intumescent Flame Retardant IFR-P100A for PP
Polypropylene Flame Retardant IFR-P100A Passing UL94 V0 for Polypropylene
INTRODUCTION:
Looking for a halogen-free flame retardant that lets polypropylene meet demanding fire-safety standards without sacrificing processability or environmental compliance? IFR-P100A is a nitrogen–phosphorus based, eco-friendly flame retardant built specifically for polyolefin applications, and it stands apart from conventional APP-based systems.
Fire Performance That Speaks for Itself
Formulated with high thermal stability and an elevated decomposition temperature, IFR-P100A keeps its performance through demanding compounding and molding conditions. In polypropylene compounds, it delivers:
- UL 94 V-0 at an ultra-thin 0.75 mm
- 70 °C × 168 h water-immersion test compliance per UL 746C
- GWIT 750 °C and GWFI 960 °C in glow-wire testing
- UL 94 V-0 at 1.5 mm even in glass-fiber reinforced PP grades
That combination makes it a strong fit for electronic housings, appliances, and automotive components where both thin-wall fire ratings and glow-wire safety matter.

Processing & Compatibility Guide for IFR-P100A
1. Recommended Processing Conditions
IFR-P100A is thermally robust — its decomposition temperature reaches 270 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere — which gives compounders a wider processing window. Concretely, you can raise the barrel temperature of your twin-screw extruder accordingly to improve melt flow and throughput without risking premature degradation.
For a cleaner, more consistent output:
- Install a sieve or screen pack at the die head to trap contaminants and agglomerates.
- Keep a continuous vacuum applied to the twin-screw throughout processing to remove moisture and volatiles.
These simple steps help you protect product quality while making the most of IFR-P100A's thermal headroom.
2. Colorant & Additive Compatibility — What to Watch
Flame-retardant efficiency can be affected by certain pigments and fillers, so formulation choices matter:
- Avoid chloride-containing colorants, in particular phthalocyanine green pigments: the presence of chloride ions can make the flame retardant lose its effectiveness.
- Limit carbon black loading to ≤ 0.5%. When carbon black exceeds this dosage, the flame-retardant performance of the compound is noticeably weakened.
Staying within these limits keeps your color options flexible while ensuring the fire performance of the final part stays on spec.
