With the development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the hidden danger of fire accidents has become increasingly prominent. Fire safety has become an important issue in the national economy and social life. The addition of flame retardants to flammable materials, making it a flame retardant material, has become an important means to control fire from the source.

Flame retardants can greatly reduce the incidence of fire, delay the speed of fire spread and fire intensity. Extend people's escape and reaction time, increase the chance of survival, and gain more time for firefighters to rescue, thereby reducing casualties.

Relevant national fire regulations and standards are mandatory electronic equipment, buildings, vehicles in the corresponding plastic parts "must" meet the fire retardant requirements, that is, must add flame retardant.

According to the European Commission, the use of flame retardants has reduced the number of fire deaths in Europe by 20% in the past 10 years.

The efficacy of flame retardants has been confirmed. The Business Division of the National Bureau of Standards conducted fire tests on five categories of products designed to test the overall efficacy of flame retardants. The results show that compared with those who stay in the room without flame retardant materials, the escape time of those who stay in the room with flame retardant materials is 15 times higher on average.

A GreenstreetBerman study conducted by the British government in 2009 showed that since the British promulgated the "Furniture and Interior Furnishings Fire Safety Regulations" to improve fire safety requirements, from 2002 to 2007, the average annual decrease in fire deaths was 54. The average annual decrease in burn cases was 780, and the average annual decrease in fire accidents was 1065. 2
