Fire-retardant materials should not be confused with fire-resistant materials. A fire resistant material is one which is designed to resist burning and withstand heat . An example of a fire-resistant material is one which is used in bunker gear worn by firefighters to protect them from the flames of a burning building.
Electrical arc: Electric current arcing with enough energy to ignite the material receiving the arc. Engine exhaust; Explosive charges; Flow friction: Heat generated by high velocity oxygen flow over a non-metal Note:Flow friction is a hypothesis. Flow friction has not been experimentally verified and should be considered only in conjunction ...
Sodium borohydride and sodium hydroxide solution, with not more than 12% sodium borohydride and not more than 20% sodium hydroxide, by mass UN 3321: 7: Radioactive material, low specific activity (LSA-II), non-fissile or fissile excepted: UN 3322: 7: Radioactive material, low specific activity (LSA-III), non-fissile or fissile excepted: UN 3323: 7
The non-burning characteristics of the inorganic components of these polymers contribute to their controlled flammability. For example, instead of forming toxic, flammable gasses in abundance, polymers prepared with incorporation of cyclotriphosphazene rings give a high char yield upon combustion. [3]
A combustible material is a material that can burn (i.e., sustain a flame) in air under certain conditions. A material is flammable if it ignites easily at ambient temperatures. In other words, a combustible material ignites with some effort and a flammable material catches fire immediately on exposure to flame.
An aerosol must be assigned to Division 2.1 if the contents include 85% by mass or more flammable components and the chemical heat of combustion is 30 kJ/g or more; An aerosol must be assigned to Division 2.1 if it is deemed flammable in accordance with the appropriate tests of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria for flammability. Division 2.2 ...
2.1 Flammable Gas: Gases which ignite on contact with an ignition source, such as acetylene, hydrogen, and propane. 2.2 Non-Flammable Gases : Gases which are neither flammable nor poisonous. Includes the cryogenic gases/liquids (temperatures of below -100 °C) used for cryopreservation and rocket fuels, such as nitrogen , neon , and carbon ...
Chemical under pressure, flammable, toxic, not otherwise specified UN 3505: 2.1: Chemical under pressure, flammable, corrosive, not otherwise specified UN 3506: 8: Mercury contained in manufactured articles UN 3507: 6.1: Uranium hexafluoride, radioactive material, excepted package, less than 0.1 kg per package, non-fissile or fissile excepted ...
