Exolit RP 622 is a brown-red paste, and is a thixotropic blend of water with stabilised, microencapsulated red phosphorus. The paste allows a safe and simple handling of the red phosphorus in a liquid form, and avoids the hazards associated when working with red phosphorus powders. The thixotropic nature of this concentrate hinders the sedimentation process and simplifies the re-homogenisation of the paste after long storage periods.

Applications
Exolit RP 622 can be used to flame retard both synthetic and natural rubber latex systems. Due to its high phosphorus content the product is a very effective flame retardant.
The combination of Exolit RP 622 with aluminium trihydrate or other synergists can be used to achieve a high flame retardant classification whilst using low amounts of filler.
