EU Stricter Regulatory Restrictions Reshape Brominated Flame Retardant Industry Pattern

For a long time, brominated flame retardants have been widely used in plastic and rubber products due to their low price and stable flame retardant effect. However, their defects of environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential ecological and human health risks have prompted European regulatory authorities to continuously introduce restrictive policies. The implementation of the new rules means that export-oriented material manufacturers and plastic product enterprises must completely adjust their material formulas and phase out unqualified brominated flame retardant additives within the specified transition period.
