Abstract:
A test program was conducted for the Fire Retardant
Chemicals Association to quantify the effects of fire
retardant chemicals on total fire hazard. Five
different types of products, each made from a different
type of plastic were used. The products were made up in
analogous fire-retardant (FR) and non-retarded variants
(NFR).
