Human beings have come a long way from ancient times. Being able to use fire is a great progress and plays a very important role in getting rid of ignorance. Since then, fire has become an indispensable partner of mankind. However, just like two sides of a coin, fire also has an uncontrollable harm. The loss caused by fire is becoming more and more serious.
When people are dying, when the flames spread throughout the body, when one life turned to ashes, have you ever thought, in addition to sad tears, what else can we do? Suppose we were the one dying and about to turn to ashes, and we wished we had done something? Yes, what we need to do is to prevent, to nip this misfortune in the bud. If you want to prevent this, you have to start at the source, you have to find the fire's Nemesis - flame retardants.
90% of spark disasters can be avoided
Flame-retardant material refers to the flame-retardant material which is difficult to ignite, easy to extinguish or not easy to spread after ignition, and has low heat release, low flue gas release, etc., compared with ordinary materials. So what are flame retardants? These are the additives that prevent flammable materials from burning and give flammable materials flame-retardant properties.
In fact, flame retardants already unknowingly infiltrate everyone's life. As early as the 17th century, before fire retardant was clearly defined and before it was even called a science, people were treating canvas with a mixture of clay and plaster to make "non-combustible cloth." Although it is not known how people came up with the idea of flame retarding in this way, it is certain that there was a need for flame retarding very early on. It is based on this intuitive human needs, flame retardant science can develop rapidly.
It is important to note that flame-retardant materials do not fail to burn, but are difficult to burn. So, we can be clear, don't expect flame retardant materials to absolutely stop fires, flame retardant materials to prevent small flames from spreading into a fire, to delay the spread of a large fire that has already occurred, to buy time for fire fighting. In this sense, flame retardant material is not a panacea, because it cannot absolutely prevent the occurrence of fire; But the lack of flame-retardant material is absolutely impossible, because it prevents 90 percent of the sparks from developing into large fires, preventing countless loss of life and property.
