Chemical retardants are substances used to slow down or inhibit the combustion process. They are commonly used in fire suppression systems and coatings to reduce the flammability of materials and prevent or delay the spread of fires. Chemical retardants work by interrupting the chemical reactions that occur during combustion, thereby reducing the fire's intensity and rate of spread.
