Chemical Properties Of Ammonium Polyphosphate Cas 14728-39-3

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) is a white crystalline or amorphous fine powder with the molecular formula H₁₂N₃O₄P and a molecular weight of 149.08. It contains both nitrogen (14%–16%) and phosphorus (30%–32%). Based on degree of polymerization, it can be classified into oligo- (n < 20, water-soluble), meso-, and homo- (n > 20, poorly water-soluble) forms. It exhibits good thermal stability (decomposition temperature > 250°C), produces low smoke during combustion, and does not generate hydrogen halides. As a highly efficient, environmentally friendly nitrogen-phosphorus-based halogen-free flame retardant and a slow-release, long-acting phosphate fertilizer, it is widely used in material flame retardancy and agricultural applications.

Product Application Of Ammonium Polyphosphate Cas 14728-39-3

  1. Flame Retardancy Applications: A key ingredient in intumescent flame retardants, ammonium polyphosphate is used in plastics, rubber, textiles, wood, fire-resistant coatings, and dry powder fire extinguishing agents. It offers eco-friendly, halogen-free, smoke-suppressing flame retardancy.
  2. Agricultural Fertilizers: Water-soluble short-chain products are used as controlled-release nitrogen-phosphorus compound fertilizers, suitable for drip irrigation fertilizers and foliar fertilizers, offering controlled nutrient release and high utilization rates.
  3. Building Materials Industry: Ammonium polyphosphate is added to fire-retardant mortars, fire-retardant adhesives, and fire-resistant panels to enhance the fire resistance of building materials.
  4. Fine Chemicals: Flame-retardant modifying additives for electronic potting compounds and decorative coatings.
