Ammonium Polyphosphate (APP) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- APP
- Polymeric Ammonium Phosphate
Ammonium polyphosphate supplier for intumescent coatings, polymer flame-retardant compounds, sealants, textiles and liquid fertiliser programmes in Malaysia. Also called APP, polymeric ammonium phosphate and (NH4PO3)n, this material is distinct from monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and diammonium phosphate (DAP).
Commercial solid grades include Phase I powder, high-polymerisation Phase II powder and coated ammonium polyphosphate for improved moisture resistance or processing. Liquid ammonium polyphosphate fertiliser solutions are a separate requirement branch and should not be ordered as interchangeable with solid flame-retardant powder.
Coating and plastics formulators use solid APP as an acid source and char former in intumescent systems and halogen-free polymer compounds. Agricultural buyers request liquid APP solutions for fertigation and nutrient programmes when that form is specified.
Send the required form, phase or grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- Grade
- technical, flame-retardant, fertiliser
- Appearance
- white powder for solid grades; clear to slightly turbid liquid for fertiliser solutions
Ammonium Polyphosphate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APP Phase II high-polymerisation powder | free-flowing white powder | — | Technical flame-retardant additive in plastics, intumescent coatings and related polymer systems that specify high-polymerisation Phase II ammonium polyphosphate. State polymerisation degree, particle size and any coating requirement with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| APP Phase I powder | free-flowing white powder | — | Technical formulations and processes that call for Phase I ammonium polyphosphate rather than high-polymerisation Phase II material. Confirm the required phase and specification with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Coated ammonium polyphosphate | surface-treated free-flowing powder | — | Polymer compounds, intumescent systems and other flame-retardant formulations where a coated APP grade improves moisture resistance or processing relative to uncoated powder. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Liquid ammonium polyphosphate fertiliser solution | aqueous liquid solution | — | Liquid fertiliser, fertigation and nutrient programmes that specify liquid ammonium polyphosphate rather than solid flame-retardant APP powder. State nutrient target, concentration and application method with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Store solid grades sealed in a cool, dry place and protect from moisture. Keep liquid fertiliser solutions in closed containers suited to the quoted concentration. Control dust during powder handling and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about ammonium polyphosphate
What is ammonium polyphosphate (APP)?
Ammonium polyphosphate is a polymeric ammonium phosphate, commonly written (NH4PO3)n and abbreviated APP. It is traded as solid high-polymerisation powder for flame-retardant work and, separately, as liquid fertiliser solutions. It is not monoammonium phosphate (MAP) or diammonium phosphate (DAP).
Is solid APP the same as liquid ammonium polyphosphate fertiliser?
No. High-polymerisation solid APP powder is selected for intumescent coatings, plastics and other flame-retardant formulations. Liquid ammonium polyphosphate fertiliser is an aqueous nutrient solution for fertigation and related agricultural use. State the form and application clearly so the correct branch is quoted.
What is the difference between APP Phase I and Phase II?
Phase II APP is the higher-polymerisation solid grade commonly specified for technical flame-retardant systems in plastics and intumescent coatings. Phase I is a lower-polymerisation solid form used where a specification calls for it. Coated grades add surface treatment for moisture resistance or processing. Confirm the required phase and any coating with the enquiry.
Is ammonium polyphosphate the same as MAP, DAP or generic ammonium phosphate?
No. MAP is monoammonium phosphate (NH4H2PO4) and DAP is diammonium phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4). Generic ammonium phosphate pages cover those orthophosphate salts. This page covers polymeric ammonium polyphosphate only. Order APP, polymeric ammonium phosphate or (NH4PO3)n when the polyphosphate is required.
Which applications use ammonium polyphosphate as a flame retardant?
Solid APP is widely used in intumescent coatings, halogen-free polymer compounds, sealants, adhesives and selected textile flame-retardant formulations. Suitability depends on phase, particle size, coating and the host system, so describe the application and performance target when enquiring.
What details are needed for an ammonium polyphosphate price enquiry?
Provide the form (solid powder or liquid fertiliser), phase or grade, any coating requirement, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention packing preferences and documentation needs so commercial terms can be confirmed with the quotation.
