Fire retardant foam systems comprise a first part comprising at least one
ingredient having NCO functionality; and a second part comprising at
least one ingredient having an active hydrogen functionality that is
co-reactive with the NCO, wherein the first part and the second part are
formulated so that when the parts are mixed together they form a cured
foam. The foam system comprises a first fire retardant ingredient that is
a phosphorus-based compound, a second fire retardant ingredient that is
an intumescent material, and a third fire retardant ingredient that is a
brominated ingredient additionally having an active hydrogen
functionality that is co-reactive with the NCO of the first part.
Methods preparing a fire retardant foam comprise providing a fire
retardant foam system as described above and mixing the first part and
the second part together so that they form a cured foam. The foam made by
this process and methods of protecting structures using the present foam
system are also provided.
