It is imperative to replace HBCD with environmentally friendly flame retardants

To accelerate HBCD alternative, China Building Energy Conservation Association to join the National Building Fire Product Safety Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, as well as DuPont, Lanxess, Israel Chemical Group, Shandong Xu Rui new materials and Fu of insulation and other enterprises 5 Yue 12 Ri held buildings in Shanghai Energy-saving industry environmental flame retardant seminar, discussing the ban on the traditional flame retardant hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) , and promoting the application of new environmentally friendly flame retardants in the transitional period will face problems and countermeasures, aiming to accelerate the promotion of construction The energy-saving industry is developing towards a green and healthy direction.

In this regard, Li Deying, vice president of the China Building Energy Conservation Association, said that the ban on HBCD and the "3060" target put forward new requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction in the building sector.

He said that in the face of challenges, the association will actively respond to policy requirements under the leadership of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the guidance of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, take the initiative to assume social responsibilities, formulate a thorough work plan, and unite with the China Real Estate Association and relevant local associations across the country ( school ) will be posted initiative, the organization held a mobilization midstream and downstream businesses will, in conjunction with relevant research institutes to carry out research and industry experts to discuss, to grasp the market demand, accelerate HBCD alternative work disabled and green flame retardants.

Wang Haoyang, project director of the Foreign Cooperation and Exchange Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, introduced the HBCD phase-out performance requirements and action plan.
