my country’s flame retardant masterbatch production continues to grow, and plastic products are the largest downstream application areas

Flame retardant masterbatch, also known as flame retardant masterbatch and fire retardant masterbatch, refers to a type of product produced to meet the fire protection requirements of plastic and rubber products. Compared with flame retardants, flame retardant masterbatch has the advantages of low production cost, easy use, and good processability, and has gradually become an effective substitute for traditional flame retardants. There are many types of flame retardant masterbatch. According to different raw materials, they can be divided into four categories: inorganic flame retardant masterbatch, halogen flame retardant masterbatch, nitrogen flame retardant masterbatch and phosphorus flame retardant masterbatch.

In terms of market segments, organic flame retardant masterbatch is the mainstream product in the flame retardant masterbatch market. Organic flame retardant masterbatch is represented by halogen flame retardant masterbatch, which has the advantages of stable chemical properties, high flame retardant efficiency, and good weather resistance. It is compatible with synthetic resin and is a cost-effective flame retardant masterbatch. The flame retardant efficiency of some products of phosphorus-based flame retardant masterbatch is higher than that of halogen-based flame retardant masterbatch, but it has disadvantages such as low oxygen index and poor compatibility, and its market penetration rate is relatively low. Inorganic flame retardant masterbatch uses aluminum hydroxide, antimony trioxide, magnesium hydroxide, etc. as raw materials. Its output and sales volume are low, and the industry has great room for development.

According to the “2022-2026 China Flame Retardant Masterbatch Industry Market Segment Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that with the rapid development of the flame retardant materials industry, many companies have laid out the flame retardant masterbatch track, driving their output to continue to grow. In 2021, my country’s flame retardant masterbatch output will reach 457,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.2%. At present, my country’s flame retardant masterbatch production and supply are sufficient, and driven by demand, some products are exported to overseas markets. However, my country’s high-end flame retardant masterbatch is in short supply and is highly dependent on imports.

Flame retardant masterbatch is widely used, with plastic products and rubber products being the largest demand ends. In the field of plastic products, flame-retardant masterbatch can be used to produce injection molded parts, cast films, corrugated pipes, blown films and other products, accounting for 75.0% of the demand; in the field of rubber products, flame-retardant masterbatch is an environmentally friendly product and can be used The production of rubber additives accounts for 20.0% of the demand. Driven by technological innovation, the application fields of flame retardant masterbatch continue to expand, and its market demand is increasingly strong. In 2021, my country’s demand for flame retardant masterbatch will reach 432,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 8.6%.

The world’s leading flame retardant masterbatch companies include Japan’s Aidico, Israel Chemicals, and the United States’ Chemtura. my country’s flame retardant masterbatch industry started late, but it is developing rapidly. Zhejiang Wansheng Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Yake Technology Co., Ltd. are the leading flame retardant masterbatch companies in my country.

Industry analysts said that with the deepening of the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection, flame retardant masterbatch as a substitute for traditional flame retardants has increased market demand Will keep releasing. In recent years, my country’s plastic products and rubber products industry has developed rapidly, driving the flame retardant masterbatch market space to continue to expand. As market competition continues to intensify, the Matthew effect becomes more and more significant, and the concentration of my country’s flame retardant masterbatch industry will increase.
