write a short note on fire proof material which are made up of synthetic fibres
Answers
Explanation:
Fire-retardant materials should not be confused with fire-resistant materials. A fire resistant material is one that is designed to resist burning and withstand heat, however, fire-retardant materials are designed to burn slowly. An example of a fire-resistant material is one which is used in bunker gear worn by firefighters to protect them from the flames of a burning building. In the United Kingdom, after two significant construction fires which resulted in a combined loss of £1500 million, The Joint Code of Practice was introduced by the national fire safety organisation, {FPA},[1] to prevent fires on buildings undergoing construction work.
Fibre reinforced composites have received much attention based on different applications because of the good properties and the advantages found over synthetic fibres. Here natural fibres contain low cost, density and weight, less pollution during production resulting in minimal health hazards and eco-friendly nature.
