US FLAME RETARDANTS MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Flame retardants are chemicals that are added to manufactured materials such as plastics, fabrics, and surface coatings to block, suppress, or postpone the generation of flames and to prevent fire spread. Since the 1970s, they have been employed in numerous consumer and industrial items to reduce the potential of materials to ignite. Both inorganic and organic flame retardants were employed. Organic flame retardants are classified into three types: bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), and phosphate (P).

Flame retardants are industrial chemicals found in a variety of products including furniture (foam, upholstery, carpets, curtains), electronics and electrical devices (computers, phones, household appliances), transportation (seats, seat covers and fillings, bumpers, overhead compartments and other parts of automobiles, trains and airplanes) and building construction materials (electrical wires and cables, thermal insulation foams, paint, adhesives and sealants). 

Flame retardants are chemicals that are added to materials to make them less flammable. They are used in a wide variety of products, including furniture, clothing, electronics, and building materials.

There are two main types of flame retardants: organic and inorganic. Organic flame retardants are made from carbon-based molecules, while inorganic flame retardants are made from minerals.

Organic flame retardants are the most common type of flame retardant. They are effective at reducing the flammability of materials, but they can also be harmful to human health and the environment.

Inorganic flame retardants are less common than organic flame retardants, but they are generally considered to be safer. They are also more effective at reducing the flammability of materials in high-heat environments.

Many flame retardants are persistent organic pollutants POPs, which are poisonous, man-made, hazardous chemicals with harmful effects on the environment and health.

Flame retardants are repeatedly removed from the market and/or manufacture is halted when their danger to humans and the environment is established and/or they are formally banned.

However, the necessity for flame retardant compounds - actual or imagined - connected to rising safety requirements contained in manufacturing industry rules and standards - implies that new chemicals are constantly manufactured to replace the prohibited ones. This is a traditional pattern for POPs of unfortunate substitutions: introduce a dangerous chemical, prohibit it after discovering its negative effects, then replace it with a new chemical that is presumably similarly deadly but has not yet been scrutinized and confirmed to be so.

US FLAME RETARDANTS MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The US Flame Retardants Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

US FLAME RETARDANTS MARKET NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

Huntsman has developed IROGRAN FR TPU, a unique family of halogen-free, flame retardant (HFFR) cable jacketing materials that can outperform benchmark products in terms of strength, durability, and environmental performance. This is a significant breakthrough in the physical and mechanical performance of flame retardant (FR) cabling materials. 

Huntsman's IROGRAN FR TPU grades establish a new standard for flame retardant cable protection, offering significantly better reactivity to fire qualities as well as unparalleled strength and fatigue resistance in both flexion and torsion. Huntsman's IROGRAN FR TPU range, which will debut at Wire 2018 in Dusseldorf in mid-April, will initially contain three new products:

• IROGRAN A 90 P 5014 FR TPU - a starting point for the most typical FR applications.

• IROGRAN A 91 P 5015 FR TPU – for higher demanding FR applications.
• IROGRAN A 92 P 5016 FR TPU is a premium grade for the most rigorous FR applications.

Huntsman's IROGRAN FR TPU products have passed extensive industry and in-house tests and have been trialed by top wire and cable companies thanks to their innovative formulation and manufacturing techniques. • IROGRAN A 90 P 5014 FR TPU outperforms benchmark items in terms of heat resistance over time, according to test data. This innovative HFFR material will generally retain 80% of its initial tensile strength after seven days of heat exposure. This is up to 14% better than competing materials evaluated under the same conditions.

• IROGRAN 92 P 5016 FR TPU has a much greater initial tensile strength than benchmark cable jacketing materials, and the material performs better over time in terms of oil resistance. When exposed to oil at 100°C for 42 days, IROGRAN A 92 P 5016 FR TPU samples were up to 45% stronger than comparable materials.

Huntsman's IROGRAN FR TPU solutions are intended for use in sectors such as automation, transportation, energy, and consumer electronics, where flame retardancy is critical and physical failure of wire and cable jacketing systems is not an option. 

The new materials are non-halogenated, plasticizer-free, and entirely recyclable, and they also provide: • Advanced abrasion, fatigue, and stain resistance.• An extensive processing window• Consistent dimensional stability; • Pleasant haptics with a matt surface for simple uncoiling.

Adding flame retardants to wire and cable materials often affects elongation at break, strength, abrasion resistance, and fatigue resistance. Our IROGRAN FR TPU goods are distinctive. They outperform comparable materials in terms of oil and heat resistance due to their cutting-edge fire response. These are extremely useful characteristics in an increasingly automated world that expects more from wire and cable goods.
