Summary
Flame Retardant (FR) chemical treatments for timber work by reducing its ignitability, slowing down the surface spread of flame and, as a result, reducing the heat released. This allows more time for escape in a fire situation.
These effects can improve the material’s ‘reaction to fire’ classification significantly.
