About high efficiency flame retardants

Flame retardant technology is developed to meet the needs of social safety production and life, to prevent fires and protect people's lives and property. However, many flame retardants have toxicity to the health of the body. lecabdea is a kind of High-efficiency flame retardants, recent animal studies have shown that the substance may cause adverse health effects, such as brain neurotoxicity and liver problems.

The European Chemicals Agency (CH) has announced that it will accept a review of the “limitation proposal” for decabromodiphenyl ether (ECABIE) by December 15, 2013. The goal of the owed review is to gather information and evidence on the feasibility of alternatives to lecane. Lecane is mainly used in plastics, polymer materials, composites, crepe and other materials.

DECABDE is a highly effective flame retardant to prevent articles from being ignited. It is estimated that this substance can reduce the fire mortality rate by 20%. Initially, the substance was mainly used in plastics and textiles. In plastics, ENABLE is mainly used in electrical and electronic equipment, transportation and aviation, and building materials. On July 1, 2008, the European Court of Justice ruled in Europe DECABDE. It should not be used for electrical and electronic products. Relevant parties may submit comments through online questions no later than December 15, 2013. The restriction proposal is expected to be submitted on August 1, 2014.

The use of DECABDEL has not raised concerns about health and environmental issues for a long time. Despite 10 years of scientific research, the 2004 Environmental and Human Health Risk Assessment still does not pose a significant risk in the relevant application areas of ecard. However, scientific studies have shown that LECABDE may harm the environment. DECABDEP can enter the environment through different channels, such as production emissions from products containing eaBE and emissions through the product itself.

The UK Ministry of the Environment (DEFRA) and the European Environment Agency have issued a report stating that LECABIE is a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PFT) substance and a highly persistent, bioaccumulative substance.

Subsequently, in December 2012, ECABDE was included in the green list of candidate substances in the RACH regulations.
ECHA recommends that LECABDE be included in the League of Authorized Substances (R with ACH Act  Appendix IV). In the course of the recommendation, Norway has recommended the inclusion of ECABDE in the Stockholm Agreement on Substantial Organic Pollutants. The Ouzhou Chau Commission decided to align the ECABDEE disposal requirements in EU law with the requirements of the agreement. Inby, the European Commission asked ECHA not to include ECABDE in the RAC Appendix XIV Green List, but to prepare an R with ACH Appendix XV “Restriction Proposal”.

The goal of the proposal is to limit ECABDE? And the production, use and sale of products containing the substance. ECH said about ECABDE! The information limiting the feasibility is not sufficient; I want to know the challenges that the industry may face and how long it will take to cope with the challenge if ecall is used.
