Artificial intelligence is driving rapid growth in data center infrastructure across the United States, increasing the complexity of these high-powered environments. Fire safety is a critical but often overlooked consideration, particularly as heat, electrical systems, and backup power needs intensify. Flame retardants help reduce fire risk and support the reliability of the systems behind today’s […]

Electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the future of transportation. From reducing tailpipe emissions to creating new manufacturing jobs, EVs represent a cornerstone of America’s clean energy and advanced manufacturing strategy. But as we accelerate toward electrification, it remains critical that safety keeps pace with innovation. Flame retardants play an essential, yet often overlooked, role in […]

In today’s increasingly electrified world, lithium-ion batteries power everything from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and home backup systems. Their widespread use is a testament to their efficiency and energy density. However, as fire expert Dr. Alexander Morgan highlights, these batteries also pose significant fire risks—risks that demand innovative fire protection strategies, including the […]
