Phosphate Esters Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Phosphate Esters Market according to our research experts:
Growing Demand of Phosphate esters as Fire Retardants
- Phosphate esters are natural esters that, when utilized with carefully chosen added substances, give a gathering of manufactured liquids that can be utilized where fire resistance is required.
- Phosphate esters are the most fire resistant of the non-aqueous synthetic basestocks in common use. Their high ignition temperatures, excellent oxidation stability and very low vapor pressures make them difficult to burn.
- Phosphate esters are added to consumer and industrial products in order to reduce flammability and used in plasticizers, hydraulic fluids, solvents, extraction agents, antifoam agents, and coatings for electronics.
- Additionally phosphate esters can be used in spray dried, powder blended and liquid laundry detergents as low foaming detergent/hydrotropes
- Various fire standards around the world increases demand for flame retardants. In Europe, all materials for building and construction have to meet the fire requirements according to EN 13501.
- Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the application of phosphate esters from fire retardants application is likely to dominate during the forecast period.
