Product Name: APP Flame Retardant Masterbatch Mflam MB100
Chemical Family: Ammonium Polyphosphate and Polypropylene Blend
Synonyms: Flame Retardant Polypropylene Compound
Recommended Use: Enhances flame resistance in plastic products
Manufacturer: Details on request (local supplier contact preferred for specific country regulations)
Emergency Contact: Refer to local poison control or emergency health providers
Product Code: Mflam MB100
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous by GHS criteria
Label Elements: No symbol or signal word required
Hazards: Exposure to fine dust may irritate eyes, skin, or respiratory tract; combustion produces toxic gases like ammonia and phosphorus oxides
Precautionary Statements: Use with adequate ventilation; avoid generating and inhaling dust; wash hands before breaks and after handling
Ammonium Polyphosphate (CAS 68333-79-9): 50-70%
Polypropylene Resin (CAS 9003-07-0): 30-50%
Additives (Proprietary): Less than 2%
Impurities: None expected above safety thresholds
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy
Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water
Inhalation: Move to fresh air; supply oxygen or artificial respiration if needed
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting; seek medical advice for discomfort
Notes for Doctor: Symptomatic treatment based on judgment of physician
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Media: High-volume water jet for large fires
Specific Hazards During Fire: Combustion may release ammonia, phosphorus oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Special Procedures: Use water spray to cool containers exposed to flame; avoid inhaling combustion products
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves and dust-proof mask if material is spilled
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spilled product from entering sewers, drains, or water bodies
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep up material avoiding dust formation; place in appropriately labeled containers for disposal
Additional Advice: Wash contaminated area with water after material is removed
Handling: Operate equipment that prevents dust release; keep away from sources of ignition
Hygiene: Wash exposed skin thoroughly after handling; avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in processing area
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, ventilated place; keep packaging tightly sealed; separate from food, oxidizing agents, and acids
Storage Life: Product generally remains stable under recommended storage up to 12 months in original packaging
Control Parameters: No national exposure limits set for this masterbatch; occupational exposure to nuisance dust should not exceed 10 mg/m³ (total inhalable dust)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to keep airborne dust low
Personal Protection: Safety goggles, gloves, dust mask (P2 or N95 recommended); coveralls for large-scale handling
Other Protective Equipment: Eye wash stations and emergency showers nearby for workplaces with large open handling
Appearance: White or off-white pellets/granules
Odor: Almost none
pH (10% slurry): Approximately 6-8
Melting Point: More than 130°C (based on polypropylene resin component)
Boiling Point: Not applicable
Solubility: Insoluble in water
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Density: Around 1.1-1.3 g/cm³
Flash Point: Not readily flammable
Explosive Properties: Dust may form explosive mixtures with air under certain conditions
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and use conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Strong heat, open flames, sparks, incompatible chemicals
Materials to Avoid: Acids, strong oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Ammonia, phosphorus oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide on burning
Acute Toxicity: Not acutely toxic under normal use; oral LD50 for ammonium polyphosphate in rats > 5,000 mg/kg
Skin Irritation: Mild irritation possible from repeated or prolonged contact
Eye Irritation: Dust may cause mild to moderate irritation
Inhalation Risk: Dust may irritate upper respiratory tract
Chronic Effects: No data suggesting sensitization or chronic toxic effects at exposures typical for use
Carcinogenicity: Components not listed as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to cause harm in small quantities; large accidental releases could contribute to eutrophication in water bodies due to phosphate content
Persistence and Degradability: Polymers degrade slowly; ammonium polyphosphate hydrolyses in the environment
Bioaccumulation Potential: No expected biological accumulation
Mobility in Soil: Very low, material is not water soluble
Waste Disposal: Send waste material to authorized landfill or incineration plant
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse empty containers before recycling or disposal
Special Notes: Avoid disposal in sewage or waterways due to possible eutrophication risk; always comply with local disposal regulations
UN Number: Not regulated
Transport Hazard Class: Not applicable
Packing Group: Not applicable
Proper Shipping Name: APP Flame Retardant Masterbatch
Environmental Hazards: None specified for transport
Special Precautions: Prevent damage to packaging during transport to avoid dust leaks
Labeling: Product does not require hazard labeling under GHS
Safety, Health, Environmental Regulations: Components are listed in major chemical inventories (TSCA, REACH, DSL, EINECS)
Restrictions: Not intended for use in food, medical, or pharmaceutical applications
Workplace Safety: Respect workplace exposure standards for nuisance dust
Other Regulations: Follow national and local environmental regulations relating to polymer and phosphorus compounds
