Fire Retardants

When applied to various flammable items, these products help to prevent the items from catching fire. In some cases, the retardant coats the product to act as a heat or flame barrier. However, in most cases it chemically bonds to the treated material to make the material self-extinguishing, i.e., the material will carry a flame while the flame is applied, but as soon as the flame is removed, the material stops burning.
