Transportation interiors are subject to strict fire safety regulations to minimize the risk of fire incidents and promote passenger safety. Flame retardant tapes are designed to resist or slow down the spread of fire by self-extinguishing when exposed to flames. By using these tapes during carpet installation, the risk of fire propagation is reduced, providing valuable time for passengers and crew to evacuate the aircraft safely in case of an emergency.
