Flame Retardant

Electronics and electrical devices: Electronics are a marvel of modern technology. We’ve learned to harness the power of electricity, and used it to do some pretty crazy things. However, these products can get overloaded and wires can get crossed, and sometimes they start fires.

Building and construction materials: Construction materials have come a long way, and some of the most important advancements relate to safety. A hundred years ago, a house fire may have meant that the entire block or city went up in flames.

Home and office furnishings: Anything that is comfortable is typically flammable. From the wood frame, to the filling, to the upholstery, furniture is a tinderbox that speeds fires through homes. The flame retardant materials used in modern furniture give people much needed time to escape should a fire start indoors.

Transportation: Most modern transportation still relies on internal combustion, so heat and fire come with the territory. They are also fitted with highly combustible fuel tanks. In the event that fire spreads through the conveyance, the flame retardants used in its construction may save your life.
