Abstract:

Phytic acid has a high content of phosphorus for flame retardancy. As an important organophosphorus additive, phytic acid has been widely used in food, medicine, and other fields. However, the application of phytic acid as a flame retardant still has a large space for development. This article classifies the current research findings of phytic acid for the flame retardant application of polymer materials into three categories: fabric flame retardancy, plastic flame retardancy, and intumescent flame retardancy for green buildings. Some representative experimental protocols were introduced briefly. Moreover, the future trend in the development of phytic acid as a flame retardant was prospected.

Key words: phytic acid, polymer, flame retardant, expansion system
