- Abstract
- The role played by inorganic chemical additives in fire retardancy and flame inhibition is considered. Particular attention is given to the molecular level aspects of commercially important systems containing compounds of antimony, halogens and phosphorus. The flame inhibiting function of metal containing additives is also discussed.
