Compulsory regulations will "fire" the flame retardant market

In the past month, several major fires in Guangdong and Xinjiang have made fire safety issues increasingly prominent. Recently, the Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Supervision and Administration of Flame-Retardant Products in Public Places", which stipulates that acceptance of flame-retardant products in public places must not be accepted as of July 1, 2008. The mandatory flame-retardant regulations, together with the promotion factors such as the Beijing Olympics and people's awareness of fire safety, will make the Chinese flame-retardant material market "fire."
First of all, according to the “Combustion Performance Requirements and Labels of Flame-retardant Products and Components in Public Places”, the flame-retardant products and components in public places are divided into flame-retardant building products, flame-retardant fabrics, fire-retardant plastics/rubber, flame-retardant foams, and flame retardant And components, flame-retardant wire and cable six categories. Statistics show that 65% to 70% of global flame retardants are used for flame-retardant plastics, 20% for rubber, 5% for textiles, 3% for coatings, and 2% for paper and wood. Electrical and electronic, textile, building materials furniture, transportation are several major users of flame retardants. China is the world’s largest and fastest-growing producer and exporter of electrical and electronic products, and the construction industry and information industry are also developing rapidly. However, at present, the proportion of flame-retardant products used in public places in China is very small, and the proportion of flame-retardant plastics cannot even reach 1%. If the regulations are enforced, according to the US standard of 5% of flame-retardant plastics, the number of China's flame-retardant materials market will double or triple in the coming months should be no problem.
Second, in recent years, the demand for flame retardants in the U.S. market has grown rapidly at an average annual rate of 6.5 percent. By 2008, the market share will reach 1.3 billion U.S. dollars. In contrast, in China, where economic development is more dynamic, the flame-retardant material market has greater potential. The fire-retardant products and components used in public places are classified into different grades according to the burning performance. According to different flame-retardant standards, the average use of additives is generally 10%. With the increase in the supervision of flame-retardant products in public places, As for China's ten million tons of modified plastics and engineering plastics, there will be demand for more than one million tons of flame-retardant materials.
Moreover, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games also brought unlimited opportunities for materials with high safety and environmental performance. This will help the flame retardant materials consolidate and expand market share, and the use of flame retardants will also be further promoted.
Therefore, there will be a rapid development of fire-retardant materials in 2008. Although the current domestic professional flame retardant manufacturers only have a production scale of more than 100,000 tons, and there is still a gap between quality and imported products, and the geographical distribution is uneven, production enterprises are mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong provinces, but this will leave newcomers with Under a broad space for development.
The most important thing is that the development history of global flame retardant materials proves that most of the flame retardant and flame retardant materials in the world are driven by flame retardant regulations. China's increasingly stringent flame retardant regulations will be flame retardants and flame retardant materials. Provide a broader market space. It can be expected that after the introduction of mandatory regulations of the Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the flame retardant market will “fire” in 2008.
