An empirical investigation was conducted to compare the effectiveness of various tested fireproofing chemicals in an attempt to discover which of these would prove the most useful to protect a fabric, and potentially other construction materials in an average Australian bushfire. The chemicals tested also needed to be a plausible and cost-effective precaution that could be utilised by the general public. The primary intended destination of these chemicals is on a structure such as a house, fire bunker or vehicle with over 75% of bushfire fatalities occurring in these locations. The other plausible place of use for these chemicals is for the fire-proofing of fabric clothing and general flammable household items. The results of this experiment displayed that the NPFA formula was the most effective method of protection against both heat and direct flame, resulting in low damage despite high temperature testing, while the other chemicals only acted as slight fire-retardants. It is possible that these chemicals could provide protection from smaller scale, lower temperatures fires, however they would do little to prevent a raging Australian bushfire whereas the NPFA chemical could potentially slow the burning of fabrics in a consumer home.
