The rapid development of the plastics industry has brought a series of social problems, such as white pollution, and non-degradable plastic waste directly affects the environment in which we live. However, there is another problem that needs our attention. It is also flammable and very easy to cause fire. In order to ensure the safety of everyone, more and more manufacturers are willing to modify the flame retardancy of plastics to improve its flame retardancy. Now let ’s talk about the current status of environmentally friendly flame retardants in the plastics industry.

In order to delay or prevent the burning of plastics, flame retardants have become important additives for plastics processing, which can greatly enhance the flame retardancy, smoke suppression and self-extinguishing properties of plastics. To add flame retardants to plastics, you need to follow the following rules and methods: First, you need to decide what type of flame retardants to add according to the method of using plastics. Generally speaking, thermoplastics generally use additive flame retardants; thermosetting plastics generally use reactive flame retardants. Secondly, it is required that the flame retardants should not be toxic. The flame retardant process should avoid the generation of irritating gases as much as possible. Third, make sure that the two do not react with each other and cannot affect the normal use of the plastic, such as the smoothness and gloss of the material.
