Muttenz, October 17, 2013 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, has developed a flame retardants technology based on the substance class of phosphinates. In particular, the diethylphosphinic acid aluminium salt (DEPAL) has become a leading solution for halogen-free flame retarded engineering thermoplastics like polyamides and polyesters. This innovative technology marketed under the trademark Exolit® OP is widely covered by numerous patents and patent applications which cover rights on the phosphinate substances, formulations of phosphinates with co-flame retardants (synergists), production processes and the application in engineering thermoplastics like polyamides and polyesters. Patent law covers the production as well as the sale and commercial use of the protected products. 
Muttenz, October 17, 2013 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, expands its toolbox of cutting-edge, efficient phosphinate flame retardants with new tailor made synergistic formulations for thermoplastics used in demanding environments. Exolit® OP 1400 (TP) for polyamides and Exolit OP 1260 (TP) for polyesters offer the plastics industry new opportunities to improve both fire safety and processing and mechanical performance at the same time.
