flame retardantThere are many types. Some flame retardants may have safety problems if they are used in the wrong way, such as red phosphorus flame retardants. So, how can we do to protect their own security? According to these questions, please be sure to pay attention to the following requirements.
Comprehensive toxicity assessment of flame retardants suspected to be harmful to human health and the environment, and strict control of their production, use and acceptance. Once it is confirmed that it is not suitable for use, production and sales will be stopped. For example, tri (dibromopropyl) phosphate was once a widely used and very effective halogen-free flame retardant, but it was later found to be carcinogenic and has long been banned in many countries. The flame retardants penta-and octaBDE, which have been assessed to be toxic, have also recently been banned.
For the newly developed flame retardant products, their impact on human health, safety and environment has been comprehensively studied and evaluated. Can provide more detailed information on the above aspects to ensure the safety of production and use. On the one hand, people are trying to improve and enhance the safety level of existing flame retardants and flame retardant materials, on the other hand, they are committed to the development of new environmentally friendly flame retardants (such as halogen-free halogen-free flame retardants), and are gradually promoting their use (such as the current global halogen-free flame retardant polypropylene has reached about 20% of the total flame retardant polypropylene). It is believed that the development of new halogen-free flame retardants will ensure the use of flame retardant materials, both to reduce fire hazards and to minimize their impact on the environment.

Choosing to use flame retardant masterbatch is also a good method. The flame retardant is unevenly mixed and the proportion is not accurate. At the same time, it causes workshop pollution, workers' skin allergy and other problems. There are many matters needing attention in use, increasing human and financial resources. The flame retardant masterbatch can avoid the above problems. The flame retardant masterbatch is the same as the raw material. The product form is particles of the same size as the raw material. The mixture is very uniform and dispersed. At the same time, it will not cause dust pollution and skin allergy of workers. Direct mixing and injection molding is convenient to use and cost saving.
When we must use flame retardants, we must pay attention to our own safety problems, so as to prevent them and protect ourselves.
