Burning combustion-modified foam

Burning combustion-modified foam in a sofa, (controlled).

Chemical fire retardants can help delay or prevent combustion. In this sofa, chemical retardants have been added to create combustion-modified foam. This slows down the burning, as ignition of the foam is difficult.
