Products Description of Melamine Phosphate (MP) CAS#20208-95-1
Melamine phosphate (MP) is a highly efficient, halogen-free flame retardant. It is commercially available as a white powdered solid with the molecular formula C₃H₉N₆O₄P and a molecular weight of 224.12. The compound has limited solubility in water (3.9 g/L at 20°C) and methanol, while maintaining good chemical stability under regular ambient conditions.
The primary use of MP is in plastics, coatings, and textile materials, where it enhances flame retardancy. Its mechanism involves the liberation of non-flammable gases, such as nitrogen, and the formation of a protective char layer on the material's surface, both of which act to limit the spread of fire.
