Eco-Friendly Flame Retardants For Sustainable Fire Safety: A Comparative Fire-Performance And Environmental Health Assessment Of Nano-Silica And Ammonium Polyphosphate

Abstract

Fire Retardant are the effective passive controls which have the efficiency to control the spread of fire also it is an important control aspect in Fire Safety. But when they exposed to fire some of the Fire-retardant release smoke which may not be eco-friendly. So, eco-friendly fire-retardant additives have been studied and their fire resisting performance has been analyzed. The fire-retardant material has been mixed with Solvent based paint separately. This substrate has been applied on the Wood testing surface and the Do It Yourself (DIY) experiment has been carried out. The five performance criteria have been identified and the ecofriendly fire-retardant performance have been determined and the environmental assessment study has been done.
