Flame retardant materials are widely used, especially for high-rise buildings, flame retardant materials play an important role in preventing or reducing the loss caused by fire. There are many kinds of flame retardant materials, which can be divided into organic flame retardant materials, inorganic flame retardant materials and organic inorganic composite flame retardant materials. Currentlyflame retardantMost of the flame retardant materials used are materials that can achieve flame retardant effect after adding flame retardant to polymer materials.

With the expansion of the market demand for plastic products, the domestic consumption of flame retardants has increased sharply. Wire and cable, household appliances, automobiles and energy-saving lamps are the main application areas of flame-retardant modified plastics. Except for 2017, the market demand for flame retardants continued to grow steadily, of which the market demand for flame retardants in 2019 was 824000 tons, an increase of 7.7 percent year-on-year. With the rapid development of the downstream application market and the improvement of fire prevention awareness, the market demand for flame retardants will further increase. The market demand for flame retardants is expected to be 1.28 million tons in 2025.

The drivers of the flame retardant market include:

1) The wire and cable industry is relatively mature, and the upgrading of the power grid transformation, automobile industry and communication industry has put forward higher requirements for the stability of the wire and cable, and the requirements for the flame retardant grade of the product are getting higher and higher, and the wire and cable has been steadily increased.flame retardantmarket demand;

2) In the field of household appliances, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, televisions and other flame-retardant plastics are used in large quantities. At present, the development of China's home appliance industry is mature, and the demand for flame retardant modified plastics for home appliances has maintained slow growth;

3) The automotive industry is an application field with a large demand for flame retardant plastics. Although the production of automobiles has declined slightly in the past three years, there are more internal parts and functional structural parts for bicycles. Overall, the demand for flame retardant plastics has maintained a slow growth;

4) Implement a series of policies and measures to encourage the use of energy-saving lamps at home and abroad, effectively promote the development of the domestic energy-saving lamp industry, and promote the growth of demand for flame-retardant plastics.

The types of flame retardant and flame retardant materials are different and diversified, and they are mainly used for magnesium hydroxide flame retardant materials, aluminum hydroxide flame retardant materials, halogen flame retardant materials, red phosphorus flame retardant materials, silica flame retardant materials, etc,flame retardantVarious flame retardant materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. From the expectations of countries and people on flame retardant materials, new cheap, smokeless, no toxic and harmful gases, flame retardant and flame retardant materials with good flame retardant performance are the future development trend and will become the research points in the field of flame retardant.
