Flame retardant-guardian of safety
flame retardantIn the field of aviation is particularly obvious, in order to effectively prevent fire, the aircraft has adopted the most stringent flame retardant standards.
As early as 30 years ago, an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) found that the best way to reduce fire casualties on an aircraft is to extend the escape time. If flame retardant materials are used in the seats, carpets and luggage compartments of the aircraft, it can not only reduce the incidence of fire, but also provide passengers with a long escape time. At present, the progress of flame retardant technology has been able to extend the escape time of people from the scene of a fire from 2 minutes to 20 minutes. According to the European Commission, fire deaths in Europe have been reduced by 20% in the past 10 years due to the widespread use of flame retardants.
Once the fire broke out, without the aid of flame retardants, the room temperature quickly soared to 600 degrees Celsius, and all the items burned at the same time in an instant, resulting in a flashover. At this time, escape became almost impossible.
Expert of flame retardant materials, Professor of Beijing Institute of Technology, Secretary of flame retardant special committee of China Ordnance AssociationAs a chemical, flame retardants are subject to rigorous evaluation before they are put on the market to ensure that they are safe for use. To date, all risk assessments of flame retardants in the EU have shown that the flame retardants used in consumer products do not pose a risk to human health, and there are no medical reports of existing human diseases linked to flame retardants.
In addition, the global regulation of chemicals is becoming more and more stringent, and the laws and regulations related to flame retardants at home and abroad are continuously improved. Toxic and harmful flame retardants are constantly being eliminated. Green and environmentally friendly, macromolecular polymeric flame retardants that are not easily absorbed by organisms are becoming the future development direction. As a new force in the fire nemesis, they will increasingly shoulder the important task of escorting the safety of life and property.
