In recent years, due to ten pbdes and hexabromocyclododecane are on persistent organic pollutants (pops), the influence of the development of the phosphorus-containing flame retardants was great impact, and the concept of no halogen flame retardants. Correspond with halogen flame retardants, and the concept of promoted many, including phosphorus-containing flame retardants, halogen-free flame retardant made in the research and development. In 5 years later, bromide prices continued to rise, with the domestic price stability to form bright contrast, phosphorus resources makes the price gap between them increased rapidly, even higher than that of the price of bromine series flame retardant were once most of the phosphorus flame retardant prices more than doubling. As a result, the bromine flame retardants prices driven by phosphate nitrogen or phosphorus flame retarding agent market in 5 years to 12 years of rapid growth.

16 years in China flame retardant consumption of about 474000 tons, including phosphorus-containing flame retardant proportion is the largest, total about 179000 tons, 12 years of 90000 tons of consumption, compared to the growth rate of 16.4%. Phosphorus flame retardant market keep the cause of the high speed growth is more, we think the most important reason is that its main rival bromine flame retardants caused by high prices, the second is the downstream market, the third is the impact of policies and regulations.

First of all, the bromine flame retardants prices led to the rapid growth of phosphorous flame retardants. Global bromine flame retardants giant concentrated on yabao, polyurethane and ICL, since 10 years, the three companies constantly improve their flame retardant and bromine related products prices. Due to the rising price of bromine flame retardants, inevitably stimulate phosphorus flame retardant of consumption, promote the phosphorus flame retardant consumer market growth.

Secondly, the rapid development of downstream industries, and so did the phosphorus flame retardant of consumption growth. Halogenated phosphate in China phosphorus flame retardant and halogen free phosphate consumption proportion accounted for 74% of phosphorus flame retardant agent consumption, mainly used for building insulation materials, fire protection coatings, adhesives and copper-clad r.p. panel and by the rapid development of composite material field, including halogen free phosphate in PC/ABS alloy; Ammonium polyphosphate and general fire retardant coating is mainly used for plastic; During phosphate is mainly used in engineering plastics engineering plastics such as polyamide, polyester; Red phosphorus flame retardants mainly used in engineering plastics and general plastic flame retardant; Phosphorus mixed thin kind of flame retardant is mainly used for copper clad.
