Product overview & key benefits

RDP is an oligomeric aryl phosphate with about 10.7% phosphorus. It acts mainly in the condensed phase, promoting char, and it also plasticizes the polymer, improving melt flow. It is used in PC/ABS and PPE/HIPS housings for electronics and office equipment that must meet UL 94 V-0 without halogens.

RDP has a higher phosphorus content than BDP, so lower dosage reaches the same rating; BDP offers better hydrolytic and thermal stability. Acid value and TPP content are the numbers to compare.

Halogen-free V-0

Gives PC/ABS and PPE/HIPS UL 94 V-0 without bromine or chlorine.

Flame retardant and flow aid

Also plasticizes the melt, which helps thin-wall molding.

Specified on your terms

We quote against your phosphorus content, acid value, TPP content, viscosity and water and send the batch COA for each lot.

Selection & comparison

Choosing the right RDP grade

Your requirementWhat usually works
PC/ABS with lowest dosageRDP
Higher processing temperature or humid conditionsConsider BDP for better hydrolytic stability
Liquid dosing in compoundingAgree viscosity and container
Replacing an existing supplierSend your current TDS or COA; we quote against the parameters you approve

Packaging & storage

Packaging

Drums or IBC; tell us which suits your dosing system.

Storage

Keep containers closed in a dry store; moisture raises the acid value.

From first email to approved supply

01

Name the end use

Name the polymer and the fire rating you must meet — UL 94 class and thickness, LOI or cable standard.

02

Compare the numbers that matter

Phosphorus content, acid value, TPP content, viscosity and water.

03

Check hydrolysis stability

For parts used in humid conditions, compare RDP and BDP in your aging test.

04

Trial, then lock the spec

Compound a trial batch, run your fire and mechanical tests, and keep the approved lot COA as the reference.

Tell us your requirement. We match the grade.

Tell us the polymer, the fire rating you need, the quantity and the destination port. Add your current specification and we will quote against it.

Resorcinol Bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP) FAQ

What is RDP used for?

As a halogen-free flame retardant for PC/ABS and PPE/HIPS, and in PC, TPU and other resins.

What is the difference between RDP and BDP?

RDP has more phosphorus, so it needs a lower dosage; BDP has better hydrolytic and thermal stability.

Which parameters should I compare between offers?

Phosphorus content, acid value, TPP content, viscosity and water.

Can I get the TDS?

Yes. Send an inquiry with your polymer and target rating and we email the TDS.
