106. Flame Retardants: An Overview
Published: Date unknown
Authors: Richard George Gann, Jeffrey W Gilman
Abstract: Flame retardant additives are ubiquitous in commercial products. They reduce fire losses by decreasing the likelihood of ignition and the rate of heat release of the products in which they are compounded. This article outlines the definition, appli ...
