    Key Properties
    • Very low water solubility - GD-APP102 has low water solubility that is no more than 0.10g/100mlH2O at 20 degrees C, which makes it useful in application where the product is exposed to high humidity conditions or water.
    • High phosphorus content and nitrogen content-GD-APP102 contains 68.0% phosphorus (as P2O5) and 18.0%nitrogen which makes it a very effective fire retardant.
    • Low viscosity - viscosity of GD-APP102 is below 20mpa.s.
    • Thermal decomposition onset that is above 295 degrees C, which makes it be widely used to plastic with different melt-point temperature.
    • Non-halogen-GD-APP102 is a highly effective non-halogen fire retardant.
