Are there fire-resistant treatments available for plastic outdoor seating?
Yes, fire-resistant treatments are available for plastic outdoor seating to improve safety and durability. These treatments typically involve applying flame retardant chemicals or coatings to the plastic material, making it less susceptible to ignition and slowing down flame spread. Common methods include adding fire-retardant additives during manufacturing or applying specialized sprays post-production. Treated plastic seating is ideal for public spaces, commercial settings, and high-risk areas where fire safety is a priority. Always check product certifications (e.g., UL 94, ASTM E84) to ensure compliance with fire safety standards. Regular maintenance may be required to sustain fire-resistant properties over time.
