# 99% Hydroxymethyl Phenylphosphinic Acid Flame Retardant Additive (CAS 61451-78-3, C7H9O3P)
**Manufacturer**: Truly (China) – with over 15 years of experience in phosphinic acid flame retardants, serving clients worldwide in engineering plastics, textiles, and coatings industries. Our R&D team holds multiple patents in phosphorus-based flame retardant technology. The factory is ISO 9001:2015 certified and our production processes comply with REACH and RoHS standards.
## Application Experience
The product has been successfully applied in various fields, including polyester fibers, PBT compounds, and intumescent coatings. It helps achieve UL 94 V-0 rating and high thermal stability. We have supplied to leading manufacturers in the polyester and coatings industry. Third-party test reports (SGS, TÜV) are available upon request.
## Usage & Technical Comparison
As an environment-friendly fire retardant, it is a permanent flame retarding modifier. **Compared with CEPPA (2-Carboxyethyl phenylphosphinic acid)**:
- Contains approximately 18.0% phosphorus (vs ~12% in CEPPA), enabling lower dosage for same flame retardancy.
- Better thermal stability: treated polymer can reach up to 256°C melting point, while CEPPA typically yields 230-240°C.
- Lower acid value (326 vs ~400 mgKOH/g) reduces corrosion during processing.
- Suitable for producing thinner polyester products with reduced brittleness.
Widely applied in **polyester, PBT, PET, nylon, epoxy resins, and coatings** requiring durable flame retardancy. Meets standards such as UL 94 V-0, IEC 60695, and GB 14907-2018 (for coatings).
