What is Halogen Free Flame Retardants
Halogen free flame retardants play an important role in avoiding fire risks in various applications occurred due to heat generation by current or outside resources. The halogen flame retardants are typically used to ensure good flammability, these are under close scrutiny due to their potential to give off corrosive compounds when the materials are burned, as well as other safety, environmental and health issues. The market is dominated by various key players such as DowDupont (United States), BASF SE. (Germany). For few applications such as wires and cables, nanoclays, nanotubes, aluminum trihydrate, or magnesium hydroxide are the potential alternatives. Growing consciousness among consumers about toxic emissions release by fire is expanding the halogen free flame retardants market.
This report incorporates an in-depth assessment of halogen free flame retardants market by type, end-user, binder system, and geography. The major types of halogen free flame retardants encompassed in the scope includes phosphorous, mineral, nitrogen, nano-composites, others (zinc borate, intumescent).
What are the Major End-User for Halogen Free Flame Retardants
Electrical/Electronics sector consumes the maximum share of 37% in the halogen free flame retardants market. The major type of flame retardants used in the industry is Bromine and Chlorine based in halogens and apart from them Nitrogen and Phosphorus based metal hydroxides are also widely used in the industry. However, electrical industry equipment is always at the risk of fire hazards caused due to human as well as other machine based errors. Most of the engineered plastics manufactured are tie up with flame retardants to increase, the time range, thus helps to avoid health hazards and property damage. Home electrical fires account for an estimated 51,000 fires each year with more than 1,400 injuries and $1.3 billion in material damage. In the U.S., more than 28,000 home fires are recorded every year, accounting to about $700 million worth of property damage. Strict safety regulations, regarding the use of flame retardants are being imposed during the process of manufacturing this electrical equipment.
