- Abstract
- The purpose of that work was to compare two Polyurethane Foams, a rigid one fire retarded (PUR-FR) and a flexible one non fire-retarded (PUF). As their uses are different we have not to select the best one but to try to appreciate the toxicity of their combustion products according to the weights of materials allowed to burn in identical conditions and have an idea of their toxic action.
