UNIPLEX BAP-370
FLAME RETARDANT
Tris (tribromoneopentyl) phosphate
CAS: 19186-97-1
Uniplex BAP-370 is used primarily in Polypropylene molding applications for UL94 V-2
ratings. This rating can be achieved by using 4-6 phr Uniplex BAP-370 with 2-3 phr
Antimony Trioxide as a synergist.
Uniplex BAP-370 is non-reactive with the typical hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS)
used polypropylene fiber applications. In fiber applications, 3-4 phr Uniplex BAP-370
with 1-2 phr Sb

will pass a California 701 burn test.
