Strategies for developing fireproof aircraft cabin materials are reviewed in light of environmental legislation that restricts the use of halogens in plastics. The important physical and chemical processes of flaming combustion in terms of their effect on the heat release rate of a burning material are flame inhibition, fuel replacement, heat resistance, and intumescence. These fire resistance mechanisms, acting simultaneously or synergistically, are particularly effective at reducing heat release rate of a new generation of transparent plastics suitable for aircraft cabin interiors.
