Fire retardant foam, or flame-retardant foam refers to a type of foam plastic product that can effectively suppress or delay the spread of flames after being treated through specific processes, and does not produce a large amount of toxic gases during combustion. This type of material is typically designed for applications that require high fire safety standards. The features of flame-retardant foam include:
- Excellent flame-retardant performance: This is one of the most notable features of flame-retardant foam. The specially treated material can quickly form a protective film when exposed to a fire source, preventing oxygen from contacting the internal substances, thereby slowing down or even stopping combustion.
- Low smoke and non-toxic: High-quality flame-retardant foam releases very little smoke during combustion and does not contain harmful chemicals, significantly reducing the threat to human health during a fire.
- Good thermal insulation effect: In addition to excellent fire protection functions, flame-retardant foam also has good thermal insulation properties, which can save energy consumption to a certain extent.
- Lightweight and soft: Compared to traditional rigid materials, flame-retardant foam is lighter and easier to process into various complex shapes.
- Environmentally friendly and recyclable: Some high-end products are made from green and environmentally friendly materials, and can be recycled and reused after use, aligning with sustainable development concepts.
