Tests show phosphorus flame retardants reduce heat release and smoke compared to non-FR or halogenated FR ABS. Neat ABS polymer, a material widely used in bus and coach interiors, was compared to ABS with halogenated and with phosphorus PIN flame retardants (PFRs). 26...
Bus seat, floor and interior trim materials as used in buses and coaches were tested for fire behaviour and smoke emission, concluding that they “lead to very limited times for escape and rescue in case of fire in a bus cabin”. Materials tested, supplied by...
