The fire, smoke and toxicity factors of composite materials are becoming major considerations in the design and maintenance of composite structures. A FST composite resin is a material that minimizes the spread of fire, smoke, toxic gases or interrupts their entry into sensitive areas. According to their usage they are made of a variety of materials using different processes. Increasing demand for low cost composite materials with improved fire and structural properties is making more demand for FST composite resin. 

Market Dynamic- Europe Fire, Smoke and Toxicity Retardant (FST) Composite Resin Market

Growing adoption of FST composite resin in automotive industry, aircrafts, railways, and many others and increasing and present regulations by the European government to use fire resistance materials concerning safety of passengers is attributed to the growth of the market. For instance, to confirm materials can offer a safe environment, the European directive ‘ECE Regulation No. 118’ is used to govern the fire safety of materials in coaches and intercity all-seater buses.
