Flame-resistant materials are imperative for developing fire safety gear and personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect firefighters and other people who work in hazardous environments. The key ability of flame-resistant materials is to resist flames without burning. Materials treated with chemicals to become flame resistant are then considered flame retardant. Flame-resistant materials can also flameproof standard environments such as office buildings or even baby nurseries. Learn about the best flame-resistant materials and how their physical properties vary to maintain their resistance …
