flame resistant
Slow to burn
Flame resistant describes materials that resist ignition or burn slowly when exposed to fire.
Unlike fireproof, flame resistant doesn't mean immune to fire—just harder to ignite and slower to burn: flame resistant fabrics, flame resistant clothing for welders.
The term appears on product labels and safety standards.
Also flame-resistant.
