GROWTH OF FLAME RETARDANT’S INDUSTRY

Flame retardants are chemicals that resist the spread of fire quickly. In another word we can say it gives sufficient allowance of time to save life and properties from fire. Usually, the product is inbuilt with flame retardant chemicals that slow up the ignition and spread of flames. It is nice to know that more use of effective flame retardants are going take place for normally flammable substrates.
It has been seen that demand of flame retardant is steadily growing among various industries like Textile, Aircraft, Fibers, Leather, Paper and Plastics. Industrial houses are realized adopt the technology for a safe life ,properties and keep customers .In U.S. demand for flame retardant is expected to grow at 2.7 percent per annum to 950 million pounds in 2013, valued at $900 million as reported in industry news of paint and coating industry on December 2009. Now wire and cable industry is pressured to adopt the safe technology. In fact the high fire and risk hazard industries like petrochemicals and gas retained as high consumer of these products.
Everybody knows that fire is a major cause loss of life and property. A data says in the year of 2009 on an average someone died in every 175 minutes, and someone was injured in every 31 minutes due to fire in United States. So it forces Government agencies to implement safety standards for consumer products so that minimal loss can happen only. In fact in July 1, 2007 US Government has laid down norms that all mattresses should meet the federal flammability standard CFR 1633. It says that flame resistance should provide at least 30 min for occupants to escape fire. There is a hint that other soft furnishings of sleep products like comforters and pillows under the scan of flammability laws Expected norms will definitely going to bring a smile to the chemical products industry and user of products.
Overall, Water Repellent market is associated with fire safety requirements and environment safety demand. Though flame retardant demand is growing in all sectors but, it is not the same story in case of automobile sector. Though, it is a priority sector to adopt. According to US National Fire Protection Association one of every six report fires in the US involves highway type vehicles, which cars and other passenger vehicles account for the vast major vehicle fires and associated with losses. It is found that growing use of plastic on substitute metals and adding more electrical components causes the fire in vehicles. But, surprise that the automotive industries are not concerned though science has developed appropriate materials technology. Industry experts argue that they should replace the under hood and cables with flame retardant materials. This saves life and properties. We can conclude that say the growth industry potential of the flame retardants is bright and potential of the market will continue emerge with awareness and government norms. .
