A melamine-coated ammonium polyphosphate and a process for producing the same

摘要

A melamine-coated ammonium polyphosphate exhibiting properties of having no hygroscopicity, being difficultly soluble in water and difficultly susceptive of hydrolysis is provided and further a process for producing a melamine-coated ammonium polyphosphate having the above properties and also being powdery even when it is not ground is provided, the above powdery, melamine-coated ammonium polyphosphate being characterized in that melamine is added and/or adhered onto the particle surface of a powdery, ammonium polyphosphate expressed by the formula wherein n represents an integer of 20 or more, and a process for producing a powdery, melamine-coated ammonium polyphosphate being characterized in that melamine is sublimated and added and/or adhered onto the particle surface of a powdery ammonium polyphosphate.
