my country’s flame retardant materials have broad development prospects, and the market penetration rate of inorganic flame retardant materials will continue to increase.

Flame retardant materials are materials that can inhibit or delay combustion and are widely used in fields such as rubber, plastics, textiles, electronics, electricity, cables, metallurgy, construction, transportation, chemicals, petroleum, energy, aerospace, national defense and military industries.

According to different chemical compositions, flame retardant materials can be divided into two categories: organic flame retardant materials such as organic halides, nitrogen compounds, and organic phosphides; and inorganic flame retardant materials such as antimony oxide, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and boron. Organic flame-retardant materials have good flame-retardant effects and have relatively few product additives. However, when used in high-temperature environments, they will emit toxic substances, endangering human health and causing pollution to the environment. Inorganic flame retardant materials have relatively low flame retardant effects and contain many additives. They have the advantages of being smokeless, non-toxic, non-volatile, antioxidant, high temperature stable, and low in price. They are green and environmentally friendly flame retardant materials.

At present, foreign flame retardant materials are mainly inorganic flame retardant materials. The flame retardant material market in developed countries such as Europe and the United States is relatively mature, and inorganic flame retardant materials account for more than 50% of the flame retardant material market share. Compared with developed countries, my country’s flame retardant material industry started late, but it has developed rapidly and has become one of the major consumer markets for flame retardant materials in the world. Organic flame-retardant materials are the main production and consumption varieties of flame-retardant materials in my country. Among them, organic halides are the most widely used flame-retardant materials in my country.

According to the “Global Flame Retardant Materials Industry In-depth Market Research and Key Area Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, my country’s flame retardant materials have developed rapidly and have become the world’s largest producer and consumer of flame retardant materials. On the one hand, flame retardant materials are an important part of the petrochemical industry. Among them, high-end flame retardant materials are one of the new materials that the Chinese government is vigorously developing.

On the other hand, as public safety awareness continues to increase and domestic safety standards become increasingly strict, flame-retardant materials are widely used in many industries such as construction, rubber, textiles, chemicals, transportation, national defense, aerospace, etc., and market demand continues to rise. .

At present, DuPont, DSM, BASF, Covestro, Asahi Kasei, Sherwin-Williams, AkzoNobel, etc. are the major manufacturers of flame retardant materials in overseas markets; Guoen Technology, Lanling Chemical, Jubilee Technology, Zhejiang Yongxing, Suzhou Xuguang, Beijing Siolan, Nanjing Julong, Shengguang Chemical, etc. are the main manufacturers of flame retardant materials in my country.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, my country’s “dual carbon” work has continued to deepen, driving the development of domestic inorganic flame retardant materials. Inorganic flame retardant materials are green and environmentally friendly flame retardant materials. Compared with developed countries, the production and consumption ratio of inorganic flame retardant materials in my country is lower, and there is greater room for development. In the future, as flame retardant materials gradually transform towards low toxicity, low pollution, and high stability, the market penetration rate of my country’s inorganic flame retardant materials will continue to increase.
