    Clariant provides flame retardant protection
    for renewable thermoplastic composites A study conducted by the Materials and Conversion Research Unit (UMET) at the University of Lille in France showed that the use of Clariant's Exolit AP halogen-free flame retardant can achieve highly efficient flame retardant
    of oyster shell reinforced polypropylene (PP).
    The results of the study showed that the addition of phosphate-based Exolit AP760 to this high-performance polypropylene complex greatly improved its thermal stability
    .

    Eurostar Engineering Plastics, a developer of "green" polypropylene compounds, has been at the forefront
    of developing and commercializing halogen-free flame retardant compounds.
    The company uses oyster shells as a special mineral filler to avoid adverse environmental effects and the high energy consumption problems that arise during standard mining
    .
    In addition, the method reduces waste to landfill
    through recycling.
    Exolit AP effectively improves the environmental performance of the compound: Exolit AP is not toxic and does not accumulate
    in the environment.
    Its biodegradability allows it to degrade into phosphate found in nature
    .
    In addition, this flame retardant is added at a lower dose and has less
    effect on mechanical properties.
