It is not difficult to find that the demand for flame retardants will continue to increase, especially in the markets of developing countries, where they will become the regions with the largest consumption of flame retardants. Among them, the proportion of flame retardant textiles in households is also increasing rapidly. By adding flame retardants to fibers or fabrics, we can improve the flame retardant properties of textiles, which is also the most common treatment in the textile industry.

According to the characteristics of flame retardants and the characteristics of combustion, halogen-free, low toxicity, and smoke suppression will be important directions for the development of fire retardants. New flame retardants such as phosphorus, boron and silicon will receive more attention. The safety and ecological assessment of fire retardants is mainly to assess their safety and biodegradability. Among them, safety includes the flame retardant itself and the acute toxicity, carcinogenicity, skin irritation, mutagenicity and toxicity to aquatic organisms of the flame retardant finishing process and substances produced during combustion. Flame retardants will be further developed, and more regulations and standards will be born in the industry.
