Melamine polyphosphate is a nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing compound used primarily as a flame retardant. It works by promoting charring and forming a protective layer when exposed to high temperatures, which helps to inhibit the spread of fire. Melamine polyphosphate is commonly used in plastics, coatings, and textiles, enhancing their fire resistance without significantly altering their physical properties. It is valued for its low toxicity, thermal stability, and halogen-free composition, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional halogenated flame retardants. Its effectiveness and safety profile make it a popular choice in a variety of industries, particularly in construction and electronics.
