Flame Resistant Vs. Flame Retardant
Flame-resistant materials are those that inherently resist catching fire or are difficult to ignite.
Flame retardants are chemicals or substances applied to materials or products to slow down or inhibit the spread of flames and reduce the combustion rate.
It's important to note that flame-resistant and flame-retardant properties are not the same. Flame-resistant materials are inherently resistant to fire, while flame-retardant materials have been treated with chemicals to reduce flammability.
