The global flame retardants market is witnessing a steady growth, driven by various factors such as increasing fire safety regulations, technological advancements, and rising demand for fire-resistant materials. However, the use of flame retardants is not without controversy due to potential health risks associated with certain types.
When fire occurs, halogen-containing flame retardant materials will produce a large amount of smoke and toxic corrosive hydrogen halide gases during the flame retardant process, resulting in secondary hazards.In February 2003, the European Union promulgated two directives, RoHS and WEEE, the former is about restricting and prohibiting the use of certain toxic and hazardous substances and elements in electrical and electronic equipment, and the latter is a directive on the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Flame retardants play a crucial role in enhancing fire safety by reducing the risk of fire and limiting the spread of flames. However, concerns have been raised about the potential health and environmental impacts of brominated flame retardants, which are commonly used in various products. As a result, there is a growing need to find safer alternatives to bromine flame retardants.
Fire protection is a critical aspect of any building design, and it's essential to ensure that all safety measures are in place to prevent fires from spreading. One of the most effective ways to protect a building from fire is by using intumescent flame retardants in coatings and paints. These speci
Flame retardant PE can be used not only in building materials, but also widely used in other aspects such as automotive industry and electrical industry. In fact, the most prominent use of flame retardant PE in automobile is corrugated pipe for automobile.
Fire safety is a critical concern in the wire and cable industry. Flame retardants are commonly used in wire and cable to prevent fires, and antimony bromide has been a popular choice for many years. However, recent research has shown that antimony bromide may pose health risks and environmental haz
