The bio-based flame retardant industry is still in the research stage and its future development prospects are promising.

Flame retardant refers to a chemical additive that can improve the combustion performance of flammable and combustible materials. It can be widely used in rubber, coatings, plastics, building materials, cables, resins, automobiles, electronics and other manufacturing fields. There are many types of flame retardants. Some flame retardants will produce a variety of smoke and toxic and hazardous gases when ignited, causing great harm to the environment and even the human body. Therefore, in recent years, with the continuous strengthening of environmental protection supervision, environmentally friendly flame retardants have gradually become a type of product with rapid market growth. According to different materials, environmentally friendly flame retardants can be divided into intumescent flame retardants, phosphorus flame retardants, inorganic flame retardants, silicon flame retardants, bio-based flame retardants, etc.

According to the“Bio-based Flame Retardant Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that bio-based flame retardants refer to flame retardant products prepared from bio-based materials as raw materials. The current main technical paths for preparing bio-based flame retardants include starch, alcohols, proteins, cellulose, lignin, chitosan (CS), tea saponin (TS), phytic acid (PA), cyclodextrin ( CD) and other bio-based materials to prepare flame retardants. Compared with other flame retardants, bio-based flame retardants have the advantages of non-toxic, green and environmentally friendly, degradable, low production cost, wide source of raw materials and renewable. In the current context of increasing environmental protection efforts, they have broad applications. prospect.

At present, there are hundreds of kinds of flame retardants used commercially around the world, with extremely wide application fields. There is huge room for substitution of bio-based flame retardants, and the industry shows good development prospects. However, due to factors such as the high level of production technology and poor compatibility between flame retardant materials and bio-based materials, the current bio-based flame retardant industry is still in the research and development stage, and no commercialized bio-based flame retardant products have yet appeared. , there is huge room for industry growth in the future.

In recent years, with the advantages of bio-based flame retardants being non-toxic and degradable, they have received increasing attention from the market. As a result, many domestic and foreign companies are actively laying out the research and development track of bio-based flame retardants and accelerating the development of bio-based flame retardants. Seize the first-mover advantage in the market, such as Clariant, Evonik, Arkema, Wansheng Shares, etc. In the future, as the research and development process of relevant enterprises continues to accelerate, the commercial development of bio-based flame retardants is just around the corner.

Industry analysts said that judging from the development status of the domestic flame retardant industry, in recent years, the domestic dual-carbon goals have continued to advance and Against the background of continuous upgrading of relevant science and technology, my country’s flame retardant product structure is changing towards a pattern dominated by environmentally friendly flame retardants. Among them, bio-based flame retardants are a type of flame retardants with the advantages of being degradable, renewable, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. In the future, as their advantages continue to be highlighted and the green development trend of the domestic flame retardant industry continues to rise, they will gradually become Many domestic enterprises and research institutions are focusing on this area, and the industry shows great development prospects.
