Flame retardants are chemicals that are added to flammable materials—such as wood, plastic,
paper, rubber, or fibers—to make them less likely to catch fire or to prevent the spread
of fire.
Some materials used in buildings, household goods, daily necessities, and electronics
such as household appliances, can be sources of fires or lead to fire spreading. If we
are to live safe and healthy lives, we need to make these materials less flammable and
reduce the generation of toxic gases or substances. "Flame retardant" is the generic
name for chemicals used to meet these goals and requirements.
Flame retardants are sometimes referred to as additive flame retardants or reactive flame retardants, depending on their function.
