Polyurethanes are among the most significant types of polymers in development; thesematerials are used to produce construction products intended for work in various conditions. Nowa-days, it is important to develop methods for fire load reduction by using new kinds of additivesor monomers containing elements responsible for materials’ fire resistance. Currently, additiveantipyrines or reactive flame retardants can be used during polyurethane material processing. Theuse of additives usually leads to the migration or volatilization of the additive to the surface of thematerial, which causes the loss of the resistance and aesthetic values of the product. Reactive flameretardants form compounds containing special functional groups that can be chemically bonded withmonomers during polymerization, which can prevent volatilization or migration to the surface of thematerial. In this study, reactive flame retardants are compared. Their impacts on polyurethane flameretardancy, combustion mechanism, and environment are described.
