China's flame retardant production and consumption situation continues to develop, with an average annual consumption growth rate of more than 20% from 2002 to 2004. Since 2002, the domestic consumption of flame retardants has risen sharply, and the increased market share mainly comes from two aspects: the electronics and automotive markets.

China's domestic flame retardant varieties and consumption are still mainly organic flame retardants, inorganic flame retardant production and consumption is still small, but the development momentum is good, the market potential is large. Although the most commonly used halogen flame retardants among flame retardants have unparalleled high efficiency of other flame retardant series, its harm to the environment and people cannot be ignored. Environmental protection is the focus of the development and application of additives. Therefore, domestic and foreign countries have been adjusting the product structure of flame retardants and increasing the development of efficient and environmentally friendly flame retardants.

The global consumption of flame retardants in 2005 was about 1.3 million tons, and it is expected to maintain an average annual growth rate of 3.5% before 2010. Global sales of flame retardants in 2005 were approximately US $ 3.5 billion and it is expected to increase to US $ 4.6 billion in 2010 with an average annual growth rate of 5.6%. Among China's flame retardant products in 2007, chlorine-based flame retardants accounted for 84%, while low-smoke and non-toxic inorganic flame retardant products accounted for only about 8% of the total. Building flame retardant materials have a huge potential market in China. There is a large gap between the types and amounts of flame retardants in China and developed countries. With the strengthening of the country's requirements for flame retardant technology, the development and development of China's low-smoke non-toxic flame retardants will have better and broader prospects.

There are generally two types of flame retardants: one is paper produced with inorganic fibers such as asbestos, mineral wool, glass fiber as the main component, and the other is to add various flame retardants to the pulp or impregnated to make it resistant Burning effect of paper products, the latter category of paper products is currently developing rapidly. At present, the main flame retardants used in paper are phosphorus flame retardants, halogen flame retardants, hydrated alumina flame retardants, and borax flame retardants. Phosphorous flame retardants are widely used in paper flame retardants. The earliest phosphorus flame retardant used in the paper industry is diammonium hydrogen phosphate. At present, it is widely used as an important high-efficiency resistance developed in the past few years. Fuel agent ammonium polyphosphate (APP). Many phosphorus-based flame retardants contain nitrogen at the same time, and nitrogen-containing compounds will release nitrogen, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia and other gases to interrupt the supply of oxygen when heated, achieving the purpose of flame retardant synergy.
