Application of Molybdenum Series Flame Retardants in Plastics Industry: A New Choice to Improve Safety Performance

With the increasing attention to safety performance, plastic flame retardants have become an important research content in the industrial field. Recently, a new type of flame retardant-molybdenum flame retardant, because of its unique performance and wide application prospects, has aroused widespread concern in the industry.

Molybdenum flame retardants, such as molybdenum disulfide and antimony trioxide, play an important role in plastic products with their unique combustion characteristics. When subjected to high temperatures, they can produce nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which are difficult to burn, thereby effectively preventing the spread of flames. This flame retardant is relatively poor in thermal stability and oxygen stability, but its advantages are low price, low toxicity, easy to prepare high-concentration solution, and soluble in organic solvents without decomposition or corrosion, making it easy to use.

In the plastics industry, flame retardants are mainly divided into two categories: inorganic flame retardants and organic flame retardants. Halides, metal oxides, silicates, etc. are commonly used inorganic flame retardants and organic flame retardants. However, compared with traditional flame retardants, molybdenum flame retardants have higher flame retardant efficiency and lower toxicity, which makes their application in plastic products more advantageous.

At present, molybdenum flame retardants have been widely used in PVC, polystyrene and other resins and rubber products. These materials play an important role in daily life and industrial production, so it is of great significance to improve their safety performance. The emergence of molybdenum flame retardants provides a new solution for the safety performance of these materials.

However, although molybdenum flame retardants have many advantages, they still face some challenges in practical applications. For example, how to improve its thermal stability and oxygen stability, and how to reduce production costs. In this regard, scientists are actively exploring solutions and look forward to making better use of the advantages of molybdenum flame retardants in the future.

In general, molybdenum flame retardant as a new type of flame retardant, its application in the plastics industry has broad prospects. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the deepening of research, we have reason to believe that this new type of flame retardant will play a more important role in the future of plastic products, providing higher security for our lives and industrial production.
