Future Market Trends of halogen free flame retardants

The market size of HFFRs was USD 3.36 Billion in 2015 and is projected to reach USD 5.38 Billion by 2021, registering a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 8.4% between 2016 and 2021. The most preferred HFFR is ATH followed by organo-phosphorus chemicals, and others. The factors driving the ATH market are its low cost, easy availability, and high use in all the sectors [26]. Future FR materials should be [22]:

a) Passes new flammability Test (based upon fire risk scenarios and fire safety principles).

b) Environmental friendly, recyclable and sustainable.

c) Recyclable could mean energy recovery until we can truly separate out the additives and recycle them.

d) Inexpensive.

The replacement of halogen-containing FRs by halogen-free FRs is a long-term process. The complete replacement of halogen-based FRs will be faced with many challenges. A feasible and practical strategy is to follow two routes. Firstly, the existing halogen-based FRs which cannot be replaced should be used selectively and in reduced quantities. Secondly, novel HF FRs are to be developed which may be based on phosphorous and/or nitrogen organic compounds, inorganic compounds, especially nano-materials.
