How Are Anti Dripping Additives Effective In Ensuring Fire Safety?

Is fire our friend or foe? At times, this question plagues my mind when I hear of disastrous incidents occurring and about the life loss due to fire that is caused. The burning flames seem to be the cruelest enemy when it lights bright and leaves behind nothing but a trail of ashes where there was lively life. However, it is also the fire, our friend, that helps us keep warm in the winter, cook our meals, burn fuel to power our engine and much more.

 

Fire Breakouts : A Threat

There are two sides of a coin and in case of fire, certainly we can say so. Fire is instrumental in helping us achieve so much, however, the other side of the coin scares the wits out of us for it takes away the lives and liveliness of our surroundings. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, it is a reminder to death and despair. No wonder modern human beings have recognised fire as a big problem that they want to sort out. The fewer fire breakouts, the better and this is why manufacturers are coming up with products that hinder flames and are proven to be fire safe to much degree.

 

You must have heard of flame retardant included in the flammable material to downplay its ignitible character. They are a great help in preventing fires and stopping them dead in their tracks. You must also be aware of anti dripping agents which are incorporated in the materials of the modern world to retard fire. Haven't you ever wondered how they work? You must have!

 

Here is a rundown on the functioning anti dripping additives.

 

The question that arises here is how do materials burn. They are ignited layer by layer, especially in the case of the plastic polymers, they melt away till the whole is consumed. What the flame retardants and anti dripping additives do is that they don't let the material react to the flame and prevent the layers from dripping away. This way fires are suppressed and fire safety ensured.
