Summary This is part of a project considering whether flame retardants affect polymer heat release, a critical issue to assess whether adding flame retardants decreases fire hazardThe work investigated the following() Fire properties affecting fire hazard, confirming that heat release rate is the key fire property most strongly influencing fire hazard() Ways to assess heat release and

The overall conclusion of the twopart study was that flame retardants does indeed improve fire safety (when used appropriately) and that a key reason for the beneficial effect of flame retardants is that they decrease heat release.

The overall conclusion is that flame retardants does indeed improve fire safety (when used appropriately) primarily because they decrease heat releasePart of the project (separately) considers the key polymers that need to be potentially flame retarded and reviews recent studies on effects of flame retardants on heat released by such polymers.
