Overview:

Melamine polyphosphate also abbreviated as MPP is a white crystalline powder with a phosphorous content of around 12-14 % and nitrogen content of around 42-44 %. MPP is widely used as a flame retardant additive in plastics, adhesives coatings and polymers. MPP is halogen free and is highly effective owing to the presence of nitrogen and phosphorous thus, resulting in efficient P-N-synergism. Melamine polyphosphate is generally applied as additive and reactive flame retardant for thermally resistant polyurethane products. Melamine polyphosphate is hydroxyalkylated with propylene and ethylene carbonates to achieve oligoetherols with phosphorus and 1,3,5-triazine ring. A melamine phosphate flame retardant is manufactured using a relatively less energy-consuming, environment friendly and simpler method compared to the traditional halogenated flame retardants. Melamine polyphosphate interrupt and slows down the combustion process by chemical or physical action in the liquid, solid or gaseous phase. It interferes during decomposition, heating, flame spread or ignition during the course of the fire. Melamine polyphosphate is majorly used in polyurethane foams, nylons and polypropylene intumescent formulations in combination with ammonium polyphosphate. In some explicit formulations, derivatives of isocyanurates, triazines, guanidine, urea and cyanuric acid are used as reactive agents. Melamine polyphosphate is used as a flame retarding agent for upholstered furniture as well as in aircraft and railway seats. It is also use in glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 and polyamide 6. MPP shows a synergistic effect when applied with metal phosphinates such as aluminum and megnesium hydroxide.

Currently, the global melamine polyphosphate market is witnessing vivid opportunities owing to the rise in demand for flame retardant additives in a wide range of end use industries such as textiles, home furnishings, aerospace and automotive among others. In addition, increase in use of melamine polyphosphate in the semiconductor & electronics industry owing to its property of minimizing the flammability of combustible semiconductors is another key aspect augmenting the growth of the global market. In addition, stringent government regulations regarding prohibition on the use of toxic halogenated flame retardants coupled with rising awareness on fire safety especially among the construction professionals are some other key elements driving the growth of the global melamine polyphosphate market. Also, increase in the penetration of non-halogenated flame retardants in several applications such as packaging and textiles as well as proactive efforts from the end-users to avoid accidents caused due to fire are also anticipated to supplement the overall market growth. Melamine polyphosphate is used in a broad range of products including smartphones, laptops, refrigerators, TV sets, printed circuit boards and vacuum cleaners among others. Moreover, increasing per capita disposable incomes in the emerging economies is in turn supplementing the growth of the global electrical & electronics industry which is projected to benefit the demand for melamine polyphosphate in the foreseeable years. The rapid technological transformation witnessed by the construction industry has involved the use of flame retardant perfused materials such as structural & plastic insulation. This factor is projected to accelerate the demand for melamine polyphosphate to be used in flame retarding construction grade polyurethane foams. Rapid urbanization and increasing investments by the governments of several developing economies to provide inexpensive housing have profited the global construction industry in the recent past. Thus, growth of the construction industry is further anticipated to bring impetus in the overall demand for melamine polyphosphate over the forecast period.
