Flammability Reduction Group
|
Welcome
The Flammability Reduction Group develops, advances, and deploys measurement science to reduce fire hazard of building contents and construction materials. Carries out mission-related measurement science research and services to reduce material ignition probability, fire growth and spread, and environmental impacts; and develop codes and standards for cost-effective, fire-safe building contents and construction materials. Programs/Projects
Advanced Gas-Phase Fire Retardants Project—There is high motivation in industry to replace the widely used brominated fire retardants (and their antimony synergist). In order to aid in the development and application of new … Reduced Flammability of Upholstered Furniture Project —This project will produce the measurement science needed to enable the reduction of the contribution of residential upholstered furniture to the Nation’s fire problem. The … Reduced Ignition and Flame Spread with Nano-Engineered Foam Project—This research will enable commercialization of a reduced flammability, inexpensive, and EHS[1] compliant polyurethane foam and a high smoldering SRM foam to be used in standardized flammability … |
