What Are Flame Retardants?

Flame retardants (火焰 retardant 中文) are chemical compounds added to various substrates—like textiles, polymers, foams, and coatings—to prevent or slow the spread of fire. These compounds are especially critical in enhancing safety in consumer electronics, construction materials, flame retardant jackets, automotive interiors, and flame retardant plywood used in residential and commercial building projects.

Key categories include:

Halogenated flame retardants (e.g., brominated, chlorinated)
Non-halogenated flame retardants (e.g., aluminum hydroxide, magnesium dihydroxide, phosphorus-based)

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific Leads the Global Market

With countries like China, Japan, and India undergoing massive urbanization and smart infrastructure development, the Asia Pacific region holds the largest share of the flame retardant market. China’s construction industry, which generated over 31 trillion yuan in output in 2023, has significantly boosted demand for flame retardant plywood, flame retardant cables, and fire-safe coatings.

Europe Focuses on Sustainable Fire Safety

Driven by environmental responsibility, European markets—especially in Germany, France, and the UK—are emphasizing halogen-free and eco-friendly flame retardant materials. Strict REACH regulations are also pushing for innovation in biodegradable and non-toxic solutions.
