2. List of fire-retardant materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fire-retardant...

   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.

3. Fire-retardant fabric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-retardant_fabric

   The term fire-retardant as applied to organic (i.e., containing carbon) materials, is intended to refer to reduced fire hazard, as all will burn under certain circumstances. The tests used specified in building codes , such as NFPA 701, are more correctly flame resistance tests, which test a fabric's ability to resist ignition with the flame ...

4. Fire door - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_door

   Fire doors are made from a range of different materials such as timber or steel. Despite not being fire resistant, timber is used as it has a very predictable char rate, depending on the density and the moisture content timber generally has a char rate of 0.5mm per minute for hardwood and 0.7mm per minute for softwood.

5. Fire-resistance rating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-resistance_rating

   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.

6. Fire-safe polymers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-safe_polymers

   Fire-safe polymers are polymers that are resistant to degradation at high temperatures. There is need for fire-resistant polymers in the construction of small, enclosed spaces such as skyscrapers, boats, and airplane cabins. [1] In these tight spaces, ability to escape in the event of a fire is compromised, increasing fire risk.

7. Passive fire protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_fire_protection

   Fire-resistance rated wall assembly with fire door, cable tray penetration and intumescent cable coating. Passive fire protection (PFP) is components or systems of a building or structure that slows or impedes the spread of the effects of fire or smoke without system activation, and usually without movement.
