What types of products use flame retardants?

 While an ever-evolving list of new products—from hair dryers and small appliances to laptops and flat-screen televisions—is incorporated into our homes, 

offices and commercial environments, we seldom think about how the products are made. 

 Flame retardants provide consumers with a critical layer of fire protection and are vital to reducing the risks associated with fire.

Today, flame retardants are used predominantly in four major areas:

 Electronics and Electrical Devices 

 Building and Construction Materials 

 Furnishings 

 Transportation (Airplanes, Trains, Automobiles)
