Furthermore, flame-retardant materials, such as aluminum diethyl phosphinate (AlPi), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and glass fibers, are considered to improve the fire resistance of polymers. The results show that while specific polymers, including polypropylene (PP) and polycarbonate (PC), achieve high GWFI values when combined with flame-retardant additives, not all materials withstand the maximum glow-wire test temperature. © 2026 The Authors.
