2. List of fire-retardant materials - Wikipedia

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

   Fire-retardant materials are designed to burn slowly. 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 ...

3. Fire retardant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_retardant

   A fire retardant is a substance that is used to slow down or stop the spread of fire or reduce its intensity. This is commonly accomplished by chemical reactions that reduce the flammability of fuels or delay their combustion. [1][2] Fire retardants may also cool the fuel through physical action or endothermic chemical reactions. Fire ...

4. Flame retardant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_retardant

   Flame retardant. Open-flame tests compare the flammability of untreated polyurethane foam (top) and an identical foam sample surface treated with a sandwich-like coating incorporating layered double hydroxides. By 90 seconds after ignition the untreated foam is completely consumed. Flame retardants are a diverse group of chemicals that are ...

6. Brominated flame retardant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brominated_flame_retardant

   Brominated flame retardant. Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are organobromine compounds that have an inhibitory effect on combustion chemistry and tend to reduce the flammability of products containing them. The brominated variety of commercialized chemical flame retardants comprise approximately 19.7% of the market.

7. 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 ...
