Application And Chemical Properties Of Epoxy Reactive Retardant

Posted by Claire Smith on July 15th, 2021

Environmental protection is a prior priority nowadays because flame retardants for epoxy resin (EP) are emphasized more. The Epoxy Reactive Retardant tended to be non-toxic, efficient, and multifunctional. Moreover, there are many halogen-free flame retardants with flame retardant benefits as they are efficient and systematic.  

Moreover, some polymer-related materials manufacturers focus on manufacturing unique green polyurea pigments, which are environmentally beneficial. But, thou, these halogen-free reactive fire retardant monomers have very low viscosity.

Importance of reactive retardant

The Reactive epoxy Retardants are highly exclusive and versatile as they are flame retardants that have been capable of providing resistance, thermal stability to EP, and flame retardancy. For numerous polymeric materials and applications, these product has exposed as highly functional and multipurpose. They are composed of diverse kinds of additive and reactive flame retardants having phosphorus, which are incredibly advantageous and are progressively halogen-free alternatives.

The DPP-02 has a low viscosity, which is highly suitable for use in the epoxy system. Also, it is considered as the correct substitute, which is an epoxy halogen-free reactive flame retardant. It is applicable for numerous applications and is a plasticizer and phosphonate flame retardant. Their unique formula makes it highly beneficial for multiple applications such as:

Chemical properties

Chemical Name: diethyl(((4-(4-aminobenzyl)phenyl)amino)methyl)phosphonate

Molecular Formula: C18H25N2O3P

Molecular Weight:348.38

Phosphorous Content8.9 %

So, let’s have a look into the application and benefits of these reactive retardants.

Applications of epoxy retardant

These highly versatile reactive agents are beneficial for numerous applications, making them superior to others and environmentally friendly. Some of the applications of epoxy retardant are :

• They are highly beneficial and valuable for PVC
• They are helpful in unsaturated resins
• Useful in Epoxy
• They are applicable for polyurethane resins
• DPP-02 is also beneficial for extreme pressure and antiwear additive in lubricants.
• They are used for Polyurethane and Polyurea System

Also, they are widely used as coatings, injection molding materials,  castables, adhesives, composite materials, and molding materials due to exceptional dimensional stability, mechanical properties, suitable chemical and thermal resistance.
