After exploration and discussion in the early 1980s, the production and application of Shanghai flame retardants have entered a new stage of steady development. It is mainly used in the fields of aerospace, transportation, electronic equipment, building materials and daily furniture. . In recent years, Shanghai's total consumption of flame retardants has continued to develop, and it has now developed into the second largest polymer additive for plasticizers. What causes it to maintain a certain growth rate in its consumption? Today, Dole Chemical will take everyone to discuss what happened.

The role of flame retardants in fire safety has been affirmed by everyone, the number of fire cases has been reduced due to the presence of flame retardants, and the number of deaths has also been greatly reduced. Although the addition of flame retardants does not make the material completely resistant to fire, it can still reduce the occurrence of fires and even gain valuable escape time for people trapped in the fire. In the space where a fire occurs, the accumulation of flammable gas and heat is extremely prone to "flashing", which causes the flammable substances to catch fire in a short period of time. The presence of flame retardants can well prevent this from happening. For example, a plastic-enclosed cathode ray tube TV, if it does not use flame retardants, the time for people to escape in the event of a fire is no more than 2 minutes, and with the help of flame retardants, the time to escape can be increased to 30 minutes the above. It can be seen that the existence of flame retardants is always protecting our lives. In addition, coal fields, oil fields, forest fire extinguishing and other fields have also promoted the production of flame retardants and fire extinguishing agents in Shanghai, which has achieved rapid development.
