The polyurethane industry presents a whole range of flexible polyurethane foams which, when selected properly for its application, offer an adequate fire behaviour. Different PU foams exist which resist a whole range of ignition sources, from lighted cigarettes to sources up to 7 kg of wood. In order to appreciate the costs involved, a risk analysis is required, taking into account the composite behaviour and the influences of the environment.
