Flame retardant masterbatch has a wide range of applications and domestic production and demand tend to be balanced

Flame retardant masterbatch can also be called flame retardant masterbatch, flame retardant particles, etc. It is a concentration masterbatch after flame retardant compound formula. It is superior to ordinary flame retardant products in terms of thermal stability, weather resistance, etc., and is environmentally friendly. , high efficiency, easy to use, and good compatibility with resins and plastics. It is currently one of the best flame retardant products in plastics, rubber, and resins. It has high application demand and the industry has developed rapidly.

According to the “Research Report on Market Segment Demand and Development Opportunities of China’s Flame Retardant Masterbatch Industry 2021-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that the demand for flame retardant plastics and rubber has continued to rise in recent years, which has also promoted the development of the flame retardant masterbatch industry. The number of flame retardant masterbatch in my country has continued to rise, reaching 430,000 tons in 2020. For a long time, my country has not had guidelines for the mandatory addition of flame retardants. Therefore, compared with developed countries such as Europe and the United States, domestic demand for flame retardant applications is relatively low. In 2020, my country’s flame retardant masterbatch market demand will be approximately 400,000 tons. The market size is approximately 6.6 billion yuan, and there is still considerable room for improvement in the future.

In terms of application, flame retardant masterbatch can be used not only in plastic products, but also in rubber products, with a wide range of applications. Currently, plastic products have a high demand for flame-retardant masterbatch applications, reaching 300,000 tons in 2020. Due to the lack of unified standards, the flame retardant ratios in flame retardant masterbatch are different. At the same time, affected by different application fields and production technologies, the prices of flame retardant masterbatch products in the current market vary greatly.

According to the different materials used, flame retardant masterbatch can be divided into halogen series flame retardant masterbatch, polyethylene series flame retardant masterbatch, polypropylene series flame retardant masterbatch, phosphorus series flame retardant masterbatch, among which halogen series products are prepared in resin. Respected, phosphorus products are the most commonly used. In actual applications, since a single flame-retardant masterbatch has certain defects, flame-retardant masterbatch composite formula technology is currently used, which can combine the advantages of two or more flame-retardant masterbatch to achieve the best flame-retardant effect.

In terms of market competition, the flame retardant masterbatch industry in developed countries is relatively mature, and the current market concentration is relatively high. In the global market, companies such as Adico, Chemtura, and Japan’s Dahachi occupy the main market. Compared with developed countries, my country’s flame retardant masterbatch industry is still in the development stage, with a large number of companies in the market. The more influential companies include Dongcai Technology, Huitong Co., Ltd., Yake Technology, Wansheng Co., Ltd., Xingfa Group, etc.

Industrial analysts said that flame retardant masterbatch, as an efficient and environmentally friendly flame retardant product, is widely used in the production of plastic and resin products. In recent years, as my country’s emphasis on flame retardant materials has increased, the demand for flame retardant masterbatch applications has continued to rise. In terms of supply and demand, domestic supply and demand for flame retardant masterbatch are basically in balance. There are many companies in the domestic market and competition is fierce.
