Specialty Fire Retardants

In order to create fire, oxygen, heat, and fuel must be present at the same time. In contrast, in order to stop a fire, at least one of these elements must be removed. Fire retardants are chemicals applied to materials to inhibit or suppress the creation of fire. Fire retardant treated materials are able to resist easy ignition and win time to escape from a fire. When fire retardant treated materials finally start to burn, they are designed to burn slowly. Our fire retardant products are formulated to improve the reaction to fire properties of a material and meant to prevent the starting of a fire or slow down the burning of the material. Fire retardants are used in building construction, transportation equipment, industrial processes or offshore applications and many other applications.
