Abstract: Provided are nylon fibers having fire retardant agents dispersed therein and methods for manufacturing such fibers. The fire retardant agents may comprise Tis(tribromophenyl) triazine and/or antimony trioxide. Fabrics made from such fibers are also provided.

Abstract: A multilayer resin substrate includes resin substrates laminated together, an overlapping portion in which a signal line as a conductor pattern and another conductor pattern overlap each other in a laminating direction of the resin substrates, and a non-overlapping portion in which the signal line and the other conductor pattern do no overlap each other in the laminating direction. A thin portion is provided at a position in the non-overlapping portion near the overlapping portion. The thin portion is a portion of the multilayer resin substrate which has a thickness smaller than the thickness in the overlapping portion in the laminating direction of the resin substrates.

Abstract: A surface coating includes fire retarding and smoke suppressing constituents dispersed throughout an essentially non-toxic, water-based adhesive binder. The coating comprises a mixture of chemical compounds where each constituent falls into one of six functional groups, being: 1) catalyst/initiator; 2) expandable graphite; 3) carbonific, or source of carbon which additionally forms water; 4) blowing agent (a source of non-flammable gases); 5) cement; and, 6) ceramic.
