Advancements in Chemistry: Innovations Driving the Halogen-Free Market

The halogen-free flame retardants market was estimated at USD 4.29 billion in 2022 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 8.52% during 2023-2028 to reach USD 7 billion in 2028.

Halogen-free flame retardants are substances or additives used in various materials to reduce their flammability and improve fire safety. Unlike traditional flame retardants that contain halogens (such as bromine and chlorine), halogen-free alternatives do not contain these elements. The use of halogen-containing flame retardants has raised concerns due to their potential environmental and health impacts. When materials containing halogens burn, they can release toxic gases, such as dioxins and furans, which are harmful to human health and the environment. Halogen-free flame retardants aim to address these concerns by offering alternative solutions that are considered safer and more environmentally friendly.
