subject: On Flame Retardant Industry In China: Potential Market Is Huge [print this page] With the polymer industry, plastics, rubber, fiber and other synthetic materials more widely used in construction, chemical, military and transportation fields. As the polymer material flammability, fire techniques are therefore a global concern. Flame Retardant Industry in China As China's sustained and rapid economic development in general and the human world and the world economy after the integration, ushered in a large-scale development, must also face serious challenges. Flame Retardant huge potential market in China, currently the world's total consumption of flame retardants has reached 1.2 million tons / year, the next few years will continue at an average annual rate of 4 to 5% growth, the development trend is to improve flame retardancy the same time, pay more attention to environmental protection and ecological safety.
With enhanced awareness of fire prevention, fire retardant in China have shown a good market prospect and huge development potential. With the increasingly stringent fire safety standards and the rapid growth of plastics production in recent years the global demand for flame retardants increasing. Industrial countries by the manufacturer's conscious behavior and state specific legislation, to improve the flame retardancy of the material, which also contributed to the continuous development of fire retardant application development. The market size of brominated flame retardants and flame retardant applications long ranks first in all of its outstanding price-performance ratio is unmatched by other flame retardants.
Halogen, low smoke, low toxic flame retardants have been one goal, no halogenated flame retardants in recent years people have developed to show high enthusiasm, invested a lot of power, and achieved considerable results . GE Plastics supplies the international market began three kinds of high-performance meet the ecological requirements of the halogen-free flame-retardant plastic, halogen-free flame retardant that carbonate, halogen-free flame retardant PC / ABS and halogen-free flame retardant Noryl . Introducing such a new flame-retardant plastic components can not only meet increasingly stringent fire standards, and also in line with ecological requirements, in the international market is highly competitive. The United States in recent years also produce electronic components for the manufacture of halogen-free flame-sensitive polyamide. In addition, the halogen-free flame-retardant polycarbonate silicon in the electronics, electrical industry, more popular, the Japanese NEC Corporation and Dow joint development of flame-retardant polycarbonate polysiloxane is one of the latest halogen free flame retardant resin Its performance may be comparable to conventional brominated flame retardant products, and the price is not high, and its processing performance is also good, especially the impact strength is almost the same with and without flame-retardant polycarbonate.
Flame retardants in recent years the production and consumption in China continued development of the situation, the average annual consumption growth rate of over 20%. Since 2002, a sharp increase in domestic consumption of flame retardants to increase market share mainly from two aspects: electronic appliance and automotive markets. Countries in the world of electronic appliances flame retardant increasing attention, China is no exception. In particular, China's exports of electrical and electronic product requirements more stringent. Auto plastic parts now total weight of the car has reached a share of about 10%, particularly in the automotive plastic interior parts, generally require fire-retardant. Flame retardant consumption in these two areas accounted for more than 80%. The next five years, China's annual growth rate of consumption of flame retardants up to 15%. At present, China Flame Retardant in terms of varieties or usage there is a big gap with the developed countries, with the national technical requirements on the strengthening of flame retardant, flame retardant and the development of our country will be broad prospects appear better. We should enhance the development and innovation capacity, promote the industry will be towards environmental protection, flame retardants, low toxicity-based, efficient, multi-oriented direction.
Flame development should advance with the times. Currently worldwide, the flame of the production, use and recovery of security issues by governments and enterprises have universal attention. Now the world's major producer of flame retardants are committed to the safety of their products in the responsible, and provide detailed and reliable information and data. Once the environment on human health and the hazards of flame retardants have suspected that the toxicity of its comprehensive assessment. Which will be on their production, use and recycling strictly controlled. When determining the appropriate use, immediately stop production and sales.
In this context some of the traditional brominated flame retardants, have been subject to increasingly stringent environmental and fire regulations of the pressure, forcing the user to find substitutes for brominated flame retardants, but also will promote the new fire-retardant materials coming out. These new flame retardant materials will have low heat release rate, are low smoke and low toxicity, and flame-retardant efficiency is not reduced. Because of the use of brominated flame retardants are very cautious, to its cast a shadow over prospects. However, brominated flame retardants in the fire history of the field position, and in many applications. Also difficult to find suitable substitutes, so brominated flame retardants in the European countries is still no substitute for choice. But looking brominated flame retardants (polybrominated diphenyl ethers, especially 10) of the substitute, to the progressive realization of the non-halogenated flame retardants and ecology, would be one obvious trend. Future global consumption of brominated flame retardants slow growth, but substitutes will continue to increase.
