Various chemical compounds with different physicochemical properties and molecular structures can act as FRs. The term “flame retardants” refers to the chemical compound action and not to the compound itself. īut what are flame retardants? Flame retardants (FRs) are chemical compounds employed as safety devices to prevent fires from starting/spreading or to delay ignition, thereby reducing combustible material flammability, increasing escape time, and providing safety to humans and properties. Using safety devices against fire, like flame retardants, is important to prevent these materials from burning and harming the society and the environment. Over the last century, the furniture, electronics, upholstery, and textile industries have increasingly employed synthetic materials, which are also used in the transport sector (cars, airplanes, and trains) and at home. Materials with high carbon and hydrogen content are easily combustible, so most materials used nowadays, including plastics, are flammable. ![]() ![]() ![]() Where i felt Embrace focused more on emotional relationships, Entice focused on the suspense and kept you on the edge of your seat.
