ACTUAL PROBLEMS OF IMPARTING FIRE-RETARDANT PROPERTIES TO INSULATING MATERIALS MADE OF NATURAL FIBERS

At the moment, there is an increasing problem in the world with the creation of fire-safe building materials. Most fires occur instantly, due to the use of highly flammable insulation material from refined petroleum products. Polymer materials without flame retardants burn well, as a result of which the flame covers the walls of buildings. Industrial flame retardants based on chlorine and fluorine are poisonous. Toxic gases are released during the combustion of this material. This article discusses the issue of conferring flame retardant properties with environmentally friendly flame retardants. Such flame retardants can be based on nitrogen and phosphorus. At the same time, getting into the environment, they do not cause harm. Such substances are capable of decomposition under real conditions. They also do not emit poison when burning and are safe for humans.
