Fire-retardant materials should not be confused with fire-resistant materials. A fire resistant material is one which is designed to resist burning and withstand heat . An example of a fire-resistant material is one which is used in bunker gear worn by firefighters to protect them from the flames of a burning building.
A fire-resistance rating typically means the duration for which a passive fire protection system can withstand a standard fire resistance test. This can be quantified simply as a measure of time, or it may entail other criteria, involving evidence of functionality or fitness for purpose.
Cauldron – a large metal pot for cooking or boiling over an open fire, with a large mouth and frequently with an arc-shaped hanger. Chafing dish and stand, circa 1895, [16] Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Ding – prehistoric and ancient Chinese cauldrons, standing upon legs with a lid and two facing handles.

Some fire-safe polymers naturally exhibit an intrinsic resistance to decomposition, while others are synthesized by incorporating fire-resistant additives and fillers. Current research in developing fire-safe polymers is focused on modifying various properties of the polymers such as ease of ignition , rate of heat release, and the evolution of ...
