The use of flame retardants to reduce the incidence of fire has gradually become the key to people's fire prevention. With people's increasing awareness of environmental protection, safety and health, the environmental protection requirements of flame retardants are becoming higher and higher. In the future, countries around the world will focus on the research, development and application of environmental flame retardants, and at the same time, they will also increase the supervision of the safety of the use of flame retardants. So what should we pay attention to when using flame retardants? The following is a brief introduction to you.
1. To evaluate the toxicity of flame retardants suspected to be harmful to human health and the environment, and to strictly control their production, use and scorn. Once proven unsuitable for use, stop production and sales. For example, triphosphate used to be a widely used and very effective flame retardant, which was found to be carcinogenic and banned in many countries. Pentabromodiphenyl ether and octabromodiphenyl ether, which have been assessed as toxic flame retardants, have also been banned recently.
2. For newly developed flame-retardant products, their impact on human health, safety and environment has been studied and evaluated in many ways. It can provide more detailed information about the above aspects to ensure the safety of production and use.
On the one hand, efforts are being made to improve and improve the safety level of existing flame retardants and flame retardant materials. On the other hand, efforts are being made to develop new environmentally friendly flame retardants (such as halogen-free flame retardants) and gradually promote their use. The development of new flame retardants will ensure the use of flame retardant materials, which can not only reduce fire hazards, but also minimize their impact on the environment.
Above is the use of flame retardants need to pay attention to matters, I hope to help you.
