What type of hazard does fire retardant treatment aim to reduce?

Fire retardant treatment primarily aims to reduce flame hazards. This treatment involves applying chemicals or materials to surfaces to slow down or inhibit the spread of fire. By increasing the ignition resistance of materials and delaying their combustion, fire retardant treatments are designed specifically to minimize the risk of flames and the intensity of fires, which can lead to reduced damage and increased safety in various environments.

Flame hazards are pivotal in environments where combustible materials are present, such as in buildings, factories, and warehouses. By effectively addressing these hazards, fire retardant treatments serve as a crucial preventive measure in fire safety protocols, ensuring that structures conform to fire safety standards.
