In China, although the 2008 production of flame retardants in 180000 tons - 220000 tons, but most of these flame retardants are direct or indirect export to abroad after preliminary processing, less application in the country. Plastic, for example, around 2012, about 10% of the global plastics - adding flame retardants, and the former Chinese flame retardant plastic accounted for only about 2% of the plastic products, lower than the world average, more than Europe and the United States and other developed countries and regions, its reason is mainly due to the current domestic for flame retardant materials requirements is not to the point of compulsory execution.
Flame retardant compound with technical means, the phosphorus, halogen, nitrogen and inorganic flame retardants, or some kind of flame retardant composite itself. As flame retardants in practical application, a single flame retardant tend to have some defects, it is difficult to meet the requirements of people more and more high, so using the technology of flame retardant compound can be integrated two or over two kinds of flame retardants of strengths, and complement each other, maximum full play flame retardant synergistic effect, in order to achieve reduce dosage, enhance the function, such as the flame retardant effect.
Flame retardants in the domestic market, therefore, there is still a huge development potential, as China and other emerging markets further perfect of the laws and regulations and fire retardant in implementation, the application of flame retardant area and demand will further expand the scale.
