What is Melamine polyphosphate?

It is an important chemical intermediate and a halogen-free, nitrogen-phosphorus-expanding flame retardant.

The chemical structure of this ester makes it exhibit excellent flame retardant properties in applications, and therefore, it is widely used in various materials that require flame retardant treatment to improve the safety and fire resistance of materials.

It is also abbreviated as MMP.

preparation method

The preparation of melamine phosphate is usually carried out in two steps:

1. Synthesis of polycyanamide: Cyanuric acid is condensed and reacted with formaldehyde under alkaline conditions to produce polycyanamide.

2. Phosphorylation: Polycyanamide is reacted with phosphoric acid at high temperatures to produce melamine phosphate.
