Discussion on the global ban requirements for flame retardants

Based on a deep understanding of the growth toxicity, endocrine disruption, reproductive toxicity, and other hazards of flame retardants, as well as the current use of flame retardants, many states in the European Union and the United States have already used flame retardants in their children's products. Introduced restrictive laws.

The inherent toxicity of typical halogen flame retardants poses a threat to the environment and human health.

The combustion process of organic waste containing halogens can cause secondary pollution, leading to continuous pollution of harmful organic substances such as dioxins and furans.

Flame retardants Stockholm Treaty

The international community jointly adopted the Stockholm Treaty on Sustainable Organic Pollutants in May 2001, gradually eliminating persistent organic pollutants worldwide.

1) Persistent organic pollutants: difficult to decompose, highly toxic, long-distance travel;

2) Difficult to degrade fuels such as polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, short chain chlorinated paraffins, and hexabromocyclododecane are typically classified as persistent organic pollutants to be removed. All parties involved in the competition have an obligation to achieve the goals set in the competition.

European flame retardant regulations

1) EU regulations on persistent organic pollutants developed according to the Stockholm Convention;

2) EU RoHS Directive: For electrical and electronic products, the restricted flame retardants are polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated biphenyls. Brominated diphenyl ether;

3) The list of SVHC and flame retardants included in Appendix XVII of the EU REACH Regulation includes tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate, trimethylphenyl phosphate, and tris (2,3-dibromo) Propyl phosphate, tris (nitrocyclopropyl) phosphate, monomethyldibromodiphenylmethane, etc;

4) The EU ErP directive aims to prohibit the use of halogen based resistors in electronic display casings and brackets. I will. Combustion aid.

Flame retardant regulations in the United States

1) EPA monitors persistent organic pollutants at the federal level;

2) States in the United States prohibit and restrict flame retardants in consumer goods, as well as related restrictive measures published in combustion chambers, including octabromodiphenyl ether, decabromodiphenyl ether, tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), tris (1,3-dichloroisopropyl) phosphate (TDCPP), short chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD), 2-ethylhexyl-tetrabromobenzoic acid (TBB), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), tetrabromobis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (TBPH), etc.
