Halogen-free flame retardant is a viable
alternative for halogenated flame retardants, which exhibit superb
flame-retardant characteristics. It is mixed with the different end-use
materials for instance plastic, textiles, paints and coatings to make the
products flame resistant. In the case of fire, it releases smoke & toxic
fire gases such as polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) or polybrominated or
polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD) that decreases visibility and the
releases toxins bioaccumulate and are non-biodegradable.
According to study, “Global
Halogen-Free Flame Retardants Market: Information by Type (Aluminum
Trihydrate, Phosphorous-Based), Resin Type (Polyethylene, Polypropylene,
Epoxy), End-Use Industry (Building & Construction, Electrical &
Electronics), and Region-Forecast till 2023” the key companies operating in the
global halogen-free flame retardants market are LANXESS, ICL, BASF SE, Nabaltec
AG, Celanese Corporation, Greenchemicals SpA, Chemtura Corporation Limited, RTP
Company, Akzo Nobel, Daihachi Chemical Industry Co. Ltd., Albemarle
Corporation, Dic Corporation, Delamin Limited, Dover Chemical Corp., DSM N.V.,
DowDuPont, Apexical Inc., Bayer AG, Amfine Chemical Corporation, Kisuma
Chemicals, J.M. Huber Corporation, Clariant AG.
Based on type, halogen-free flame retardants
market is segmented into minerals (Magnesium Hydroxide (MDH), Alumina
Trihydrate (ATH) and Calcium Carbonate), phosphorous based (organic &
inorganic), nano-composites (Zinc Borate & Intumescent) and nitrogen
(melamine) and others (nitrogen, magnesium hydroxide, zinc, borates). Aluminum
trihydrate segment dominates the market owing to the lower cost of the product
as compared to other halogen-free flame retardants. Based on resin type, market
is segmented into polyethylene, unsaturated polyesters (UPE), polypropylene,
engineered thermoplastics (ETP), epoxy, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), rubber,
styrenics and others. Polyethylene segment holds largest share due to the
large-scale applications of the MDPE, LDPE, and HDPE across various end-use
industries. Based on application, market is segmented into carpet backing,
adhesives & sealants, wire & cable compounds, plastics &
composites, resin potting compounds, profile of trims, pipes, cable trays,
doors & windows, skirting boards, decking, railings, facade decoration,
roofing shingles & fencing, textiles and others. In addition, based on
end-use industry, market is segmented into building & construction,
transportation, electrical & electronics, consumer goods and others. The
building & construction segment is predicted to witness high growth rate as
a result of wide use of polymers in the form of composites, foams, plastics,
textiles, and paints & coatings during the forecast period.
The halogen-free flame retardants market is
driven by increase in demand in the building & construction industry,
followed by stringent regulations against the use of halogenated flame retardants
and growth in demand in the electrical & electronics industry. However,
high loading levels of halogen-free flame retardants may impact the market.
Moreover, rise in development more effective synergist compounds and emerging
innovation in technology are key opportunity for market.
Based on geography, the Asian-Pacific region
dominates the halogen-free flame retardants market owing to growth in endues
industries in the region. The Asian-Pacific and European regions are expected
to witless substantial growth rate due to rise in awareness of the need for
environmental protection and growth in concerns regarding human health over the
forecast period. It is estimated that future of the market will be bright on
account of increase in adoption of environment friendly flame retardants caused
by the regulations posed by the authorities during the forecast period.
