Only few construction materials can offer the same combination of functionality, cost-effectiveness, environmental performance and durability over time, as plastics. They are used in a wide and growing range of applications, from durable piping and window frames to state of the art insulation solutions. They are also at the heart of cutting edge architectural innovations that will shape the buildings of the future and stand the test of time. However, the behaviour of plastic construction products with regard to fire and their role in building fires is sometimes questioned.
The new brochure "Plastics and fire safety in building & construction” provides an overview of the role of plastics in building and construction and their specific characteristics with regard to fire safety.
