Does FRP burn?
FRP can be modified with additives to meet the code requirements of the particular application, either building construction or use in OEM equipment. Like other organic building materials (e.g., wood), products made of FRP resins will burn. When ignited, FRP may produce dense smoke very rapidly. All smoke is toxic. Fire safety requires proper design of facilities and fire suppression systems, as well as precautions during construction and occupancy. Local codes, insurance companies and any special needs of the product user will determine the correct fire-rated interior finish and fire suppression system necessary for a specific installation.
