Abstract
AbstractStrategies for developing fireproof aircraft cabin materials are reviewed in light of environmental legislation restricting the use of halogens in plastics. The important physical and chemical processes of flaming combustion in terms of their effect on the heat release rate (HRR) of a burning material are flame inhibition, fuel replacement, heat resistance, and intumescence. These fire resistance (FR) mechanisms acting simultaneously or synergistically are particularly effective at reducing HRR of a new generation of transparent plastics suitable for aircraft cabin interiors.
