Development of flame retardants?

Development of flame retardants?

For more than 60 years since the early 1950s, and especially for about 30 years since the early 1980s, flame retardant (FR) and flame retardant polymer materials have played an important role in reducing the loss of life and property caused by fire.At present, the total amount of FR in the world is second only to plasticizer in all kinds of plastic additives.

With the strengthening of national requirements on flame retardant technology, the development and development of flame retardants in China will have a better and broad prospect.China lags behind developed countries in both variety and quantity of flame retardants, and its development prospect is broad. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the ability of development and innovation, and promote the flame retardant industry to develop towards the direction of environmental protection, low toxicity, high efficiency and multi-function.

Flame retardant industry is a regulation driven industry, but also a global competitive industry. Therefore, the introduction and gradual improvement of relevant laws and regulations at home and abroad affect the whole flame retardant industry pattern, and provide development opportunities for enterprises with resource advantages, scale economy advantages and research and development advantages.In China's 12th Five-Year Plan, flame retardant materials have been included into the key industries for development, and a strategic alliance of technological innovation in the green flame retardant industry has been established, providing a policy platform for the development of flame retardant materials industry.

The production and application of flame retardants have entered a stage of steady development after the vigorous development in the early 1980s.With the development of China's synthetic materials industry and the continuous expansion of application fields, flame retardants have broad market prospects in various fields such as chemical building materials, electronics and electrical appliances, transportation, aerospace, daily furniture, interior decoration, clothing, food, housing and transportation.In addition, coal field, oil field, forest fire extinguishing and other fields have also promoted the rapid development of flame retardant, fire extinguishing agent production in China.Flame retardant has become the second largest polymer material modification additive only after plasticizer in China.In recent years, the production and consumption of flame retardants in China have been developing continuously, and the consumption of flame retardants in China has been rising sharply. The increased market share mainly comes from two aspects: electronic appliances and automobile market. 

The variety and consumption of domestic flame retardants are mainly organic flame retardants, while the production and consumption of inorganic flame retardants are still relatively small, but the development momentum is good and the market potential is large.Although the most commonly used halogen flame retardant has the incomparable high efficiency of other flame retardant series, its harm to the environment and human beings can not be ignored.Environmental protection is the focus of the development and application of additives, so the product structure of flame retardants has been adjusted at home and abroad to increase the development of high efficiency and environmental protection flame retardants.Halogen-free, low-smoke, low-toxic flame retardants have always been the goal of people's pursuit, so people show great enthusiasm for the development of halogen-free flame retardants, and have invested a lot of energy, and achieved considerable results.

It is extremely urgent for China to develop low smoke non-toxic inorganic flame retardant.As a halogen-free flame retardant, magnesium hydroxide has a broad application prospect, and it is necessary for the industry to strengthen technical research to reduce the production cost and product price.

In 2007, chlorine-based flame retardants accounted for 84% of the total flame retardants in China, while low-smoke non-toxic inorganic flame retardants accounted for only about 8% of the total flame retardants.The flame retardant materials used in construction have a great potential market in China, but there is a big gap between the types and dosage of flame retardant materials in China and developed countries.With the strengthening of the national requirements on flame retardant technology, the development and development of low-smoke non-toxic flame retardants in China will have a better and broad prospect.
