One of the most critical […]
What is passive fire safety? Passive fire safety refers to the materials and features within a building or structure engineered to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and heat while maintaining structural integrity. These measures are always ‘passively’ working; for example they do not require a fuel, water or electricity source to function (see examples […]

What are intumescent thermoplastics, and how are they used in EVs? Both “polymer” and “thermoplastic” are terms frequently used in materials science and engineering, especially in the context of plastics. All thermoplastics are polymers, but not all polymers are thermoplastics. The term “polymer” is a broad term that encompasses a wide variety of materials, both […]
What are intumescent polymers? An intumescent is a substance that swells when exposed to heat, resulting in an increase in volume and a decrease in density. Intumescents are typically used to provide passive fire protection. An intumescent polymer refers to a polymer that, when subjected to heat or fire, undergoes a chemical transformation that causes […]
