Evaluation and Development of a Novel Fire Barrier for Upholstered Furniture Enhancing Passive Fire Protection and the Mitigation of Chemical Exposure

open access: yesFire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 108-122, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the effectiveness of fire barrier solutions for upholstered furniture to enhance passive fire protection and reduce chemical exposure risks during regular use. Upholstered furniture ignition accounts for 22% of fatalities in reported home fires, often due to rapid flame spread and high heat conditions.
