meets the modern demands of
the car interior. Exolit AP 422 is a well established effective solid flame retardant that can easily
be dispersed in conventional polyols. What makes this additive stand out is its low
Benefits of using Exolit: scorch effect, excellent ageing resistance of the flame retardant effect and the perfect
emission performance. There is no contribution of Exolit AP 422 to the overall VOC-
