What are Fire Resistant/Retardant Materials? How Much They Are Safe?


Fire protection materials are equipped to provide safety from possible fire hazard and prevent or minimize losses of lives and property. Fire protection methods involve materials that prevent or slow down fire from ignition or propagation and help extinguish the fire. Fire resistant boards and sealants are some examples of passive fire protection materials whereas, fire extinguishing foams, chemicals, and sprays are active fire protection materials.

Fire Resistant/Retardant Materials


The fire protection materials market is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period owing to growing consumer awareness towards fire safety boosted by the introduction of cost-effective fire protection materials. Also, almost all industries, major or minor, are increasingly adopting fire safety trends to eliminate losses due to accidental fires. This is fuelled by the strict regulations mandated by the government to improve worker safety, ultimately adding to the growth of the fire protection materials market. However, additional expenses associated with timely replacement and inconsistency in actual implementation hampers the fire protection market growth. Nonetheless, increasing R&D to introduce new fire protection materials present significant growth opportunities for the market and the major players involved.
