Final Project: Fire Retardant Polymers
Definition
- “Flame-retardant”/ “Flame resistance”: understood to be resistant to catching on fire, but level of resistance varies
- Implied meaning: self-extinguishing
- “Flame-retardant” does NOT mean noncombustible
- Risk still present in materials (but lower than in other materials)¹
Applications
- Clothing: fire-retardant for a certain length of time. Usually a short length of time in casual clothing. Higher level of resistance required in fire fighter uniforms.
- Children’s sleepwear / Casual shirts, pants, etc. / Fire fighting overalls
- Industrial
– construction: “Fire doors” and other materials in buildings to retard fire.
