An overview of commercially used flame retardants is give. The most used flame retardants are illustrated and the seven major markets, which use 96% of all flame-retarded polymers, are described. Annual flame retardant growth rate for each major market is also projected. Toxicity data are reviewed on only those compositions that are considered commercially significant today. This includes 18 compounds or families of compounds and four inherently flame-retarded polymers. Toxicological studies of flame retardants for most synthetic materials are of recent origin and only a few of the compounds have been evaluated in any great detail. Considerable toxicological problems may exist in the manufacturing of some flame retardants, their by-products, and possible decomposition products.
本文给出了商用阻燃剂的概述。阐述了最常用的阻燃剂,并描述了使用了96%的所有阻燃聚合物的七个主要市场。还预测了每个主要市场的阻燃剂年增长率。仅对那些在当今被认为具有商业重要性的组合物进行了毒性数据审查。这包括18种化合物或化合物家族以及四种本质阻燃聚合物。大多数合成材料的阻燃剂的毒理学研究是最近才开始的,只有少数化合物得到了详细评估。在一些阻燃剂及其副产品和可能的分解产物的制造过程中可能存在相当大的毒理学问题。
