A special chemical additive used to improve the burning performance of flammable materials. Flame retardant science and technology is a science developed to meet the needs of socially safe production and living, prevent fires, and protect people's life and wealth. Flame retardant is the application of flame retardant technology in real life. It is widely used in flame retardant processing of various decoration materials. The production and application of flame retardants have entered a stage of steady development after experiencing vigorous development in the early 1980s. With the development of China's synthetic material industry and the expansion of its application fields from time to time, flame retardants have broad market prospects in various fields such as chemical building materials, electronics, transportation, aerospace, daily furniture, interior decoration, food, clothing and housing. In addition, coal fields, oil fields, forest fire suppression and other fields have also promoted the rapid development of national fire retardant and fire extinguishing agent production. China's flame retardant has developed into the second largest polymer material modification additive after plasticizers.

In recent years, the production and consumption situation of flame retardants in Guangdong has continued to develop. The domestic consumption of flame retardants has risen sharply. The increased market share mainly comes from two aspects: the electronics and automotive markets. The varieties and consumption of domestic flame retardants are mainly organic flame retardants, while the production and consumption of inorganic flame retardants are still relatively small, but in recent years, the development momentum is good and the market potential is large. Although the most commonly used halogen flame retardants among flame retardants have incomparable high efficiency with other flame retardant series, the harm to the environment and people is not to be ignored. Environmental protection issues are the focus of the development and application of additives. Therefore, the product structure of flame retardants has been adjusted at home and abroad, and the development of efficient and environmentally friendly flame retardants has been increased. Halogen-free, low-smoke, low-toxic flame retardants have always been the goal of people's pursuit. In recent years, people have expressed great enthusiasm for halogen-free development of flame retardants, invested great efforts, and achieved considerable results. With the strengthening of national requirements for flame retardant technology, the development and development of national flame retardants will present a better and broader prospect. China should improve its ability to develop and innovate and promote the development of flame retardant industry in the direction of environmental protection, low toxicity, high efficiency and multifunctionality. All in all, no matter how the Chinese fire retardant industry develops, it still needs to rely on market development. And as the country's requirements for flame retardant technology strengthen, in the future development, phosphorus-based fire retardants will continue to play a steady development role with their price advantages. Let's take a look at this knowledge together. Flame retardants, also known as flame retardants, flame retardants or fire retardants, are collective names for substances that can prevent the flame from burning. According to ingredients, flame retardants can be divided into organic flame retardants, inorganic flame retardants, and so on. Its working principles include physical and chemical principles. Flame retardants are widely used in construction and textile materials, and flame retardant plastics are the main flame retardant products.
