Abstract Engineering application of polypropylene requires the employment of flame retardants. Reactive compounding of ammonium-polyphosphate and synergist additives with polypropylene is an effective way for forming flame retardant polypropylene. Both the ammonium-polyphosphate and the additives used for improving its performance effect the crystallization and melting behavior of polypropylene. Encapsulation of flame retardant additives with appropriate elastomer, in order to improve their water resistancy, causes further changes in degree of crystallinity and consequently in the mechanical properties.
