Flame retardants in our environment
Flame retardant-protected products in daily use
The increasing use of plastics in application areas that have special demands for flame protection provides a wide arena for their use. The smallest spark (cigarette, match, candle) can cause a fire in minutes. A sofa can go up in flames in just 5 minutes. The poisonous fumes and the heat in the room are life threatening. We can find flame-protected products in the most varied of areas:
- Buildings (insulation material, water pipes, facade facings)
- Upholstered furniture
- Electronics (monitor housings, cables, plugs, fuse boxes, circuit boards)
- Automotive (seats, roof liners, sun shades)
- Airplanes/trains (seats, textiles/carpets, interior cladding, drive heads)
