Flammability
The materials utilized in recycled plastic lumber are flammable but not combustible. HDPE and LDPE are difficult to ignite and the flame will normally self extinguish.
Should a flame occur, the extinguishing media: FOAM, CO2, DRY CHEMICAL, WATER FOG/SPRAY.
Typical emission bi-products from combustion would be nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, H2O, and organic vapors.
