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, electronic appliances, transportation, aerospace, daily furniture, interior decoration, clothing, food, housing and transportation. In addition, coal fields, oil fields, forest fire fighting and other fields have also promoted the rapid development of flame retardant and fire extinguishing agent production in China. Flame retardants in China have developed into the second largest polymer material modified additives after plasticizers. The current production capacity is about 200000 t/a, the annual production is between 150000 and 170000 t, and the annual consumption is about 200000 t. The shortfall is mainly imported from the United States and Israel, and the main varieties imported are organobromine and halogen-phosphorus flame retardants. There are more than 60 flame retardant production plants in China, which can produce more than 50 kinds of products, mainly bromine phosphorus series, of which bromine flame retardants are the most important series, accounting for about 30% of organic flame retardants in China.,
The variety and consumption of domestic flame retardants are still dominated by organic flame retardants, and the production and consumption of inorganic flame retardants are still relatively small, but in recent years, the development momentum is good and the market potential is large. Although the most commonly used halogen-based flame retardants have incomparable high efficiency in other flame retardants, their harm to the environment and people cannot 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, and the development of efficient and environmentally friendly flame retardants has been increased.
