Ignition Flame Spread Fire Penetration

Start of fire Flashover Fully developed fire TIME

15 Min Escape Time

Flame retardants reduce the risk of ignition and fire spread of many plastic and textile
materials which results in more available escape time for occupants. Time to flashover
can increase from 5 minutes to 15 minutes which can make the difference between escape
and fatalities. Bear in mind that the escape time includes the time to discover the fire,
alert other people, take the decision to call the fire brigade, take own actions to extin-
guish or take the decision to evacuate the building. The times and temperatures in the
graphs are typical numbers, but can vary according to the circumstances and materials
involved.

hazard information
The European Regulation on Classfication, Labelling and Packaging of substances
and mixtures (»CLP Regulation«, EC 1272/2008) requires that hazard information of
chemicals is provided in advertising literature. The properties listed below refer to the
neat substance or mixture. Only if there is sufficient exposure, e. g. direct contact with
the chemical, will the hazard properties materialize and pose harm to people or the
environment. Based on the toxicological data the respective uses are evaluated,
e. g. compounding a flame retardant into a polymer, where any chance of exposure
by direct skin contact, ingestion or inhalation is greatly reduced. Thereby, safe use
conditions are derived and assure that the user may safely handle and apply the products.
