The main benefits of the technology include increased effectiveness in the prevention and spread of fire; and the use of environmentally friendly non-toxic materials. The technology is relatively inexpensive in comparison to existing formulations, and is readily adoptable into existing manufacturing processes. These foams can be used in many industries including furniture and soft furnishings, construction, packaging, automotive and aeronautics. University Technology Fri, 11 Nov 2005 16:24:19 +0100
