Development Problems Of Halogen Free Flame Retardant TPE Industry

TPE (based on SEBS substrate) conventional mixing system, its flame retardant grade is HB (can burn). But with the expansion of application fields, the performance requirements of TPE are becoming increasingly demanding. The emergence of flame retardant TPE makes TPE mature in the fields of electronic materials, wires and cables. In traditional process, the key raw material used for flame retardancy is halogen, but after burning halogen, it releases dioxin gas. It causes great pollution to the environment. The international apple, DELL, SONY, Samsung and other large enterprises all discharge the prohibited halogen containing flame retardant schedule.

In recent years, the development of halogen-free flame-retardant TPE in China has been in full swing. Although many TPE manufacturers in China claim that halogen free flame retardant TPE materials can be used in the field of electronic wires, because halogen free flame retardant TPE has higher requirements on Flame Retardancy for special applications of blending and materials, the formulation and technology of TPE blending materials are strictly concerned. In order to get mature formula and technology, researchers need to constantly sum up and improve their thinking. Therefore, although TPE in the industry has produced halogen free flame retardant TPE signs, it is only a card for speculation of their own enterprises. Near

1. big demand and tight supply.

As mentioned above, domestic halogen free flame retardants can be produced.

There are not many enterprises, especially for wire extrusion, but the demand is increasing year by year. However, in recent years, many TPE enterprises have focused on the research and development of flame retardant TPE materials, and believe that the further development of the flame retardant TPE market can be promoted.

2. users

High cost

At present, the price of halogen-free flame-retardant TPE materials in the domestic market is 45~60 yuan. This is not a problem for domestic brand enterprises because of the high added value of their products.

But for domestic downstream small and medium-sized enterprises, the cost is still relatively high and the cost pressure is relatively large. The halogen-free flame retardant TPE blending system with relatively low R & D cost can hold a large flame retardant TPE low end market.

3. certification problem

Downstream users in the purchase of halogen-free flame retardant TPE, without exception, require suppliers to provide flame retardant TPE materials halogen free reporting certification and UL certification. Usually a halogen free and UL certification, the cost of a year to hundreds of thousands of. Therefore, from a supplier has two certification reports to determine its halogen free flame retardant TPE product quality or R & D level, because a halogen free flame retardant TPE is not very familiar with, no market of raw material enterprises usually do not blindly invest in costly inspection fees.
