FR capability
ENFIRO quantify the severity of the toxicity, smoke and heat flux of alternative FRs against BFRs in fire (smoldering and flaming) incidents. Flammability and toxicity of brominated and alternative FRs are investigated for selected prototype base polymers and FRs. The behaviour in standard tests and in large fires to study the impact on life and property safety and damage, and recyclability are examined. The severities of toxicity, smoke and heat flux of BFRs against alternative FRs in realistic fire are investigated.
