The new edition of this classic volume expands its coverage to reflect a multi-disciplinary approach to flame retardancy. More comprehensive in scope than its predecessor, the text focuses on fire retardant chemistry, regulations, fire safety engineering, fire phenomena, and all the other ancillary issues that pertain to this applied field of materials science. Using a mix of "how-to" instructions and a distillation of technical knowledge, the book provides suggested formulations, discusses why one material is preferred over another for a particular use or application, and offers a starting point for the compounder or plastics fabricator to pass flammability requirements.
