The present application discloses a fireproof buffering structure which includes a buffering plate and a fireproof plate attached thereto. A combustion rate of the fireproof plate is lower than that of the buffering plate. In contrast to conventional buffering structures, the fireproof buffering structure adopts the combined buffering plate and fireproof plate. The buffering plate has good impact absorbing capacity for providing a soft and comfortable seating environment and buffering and protection effects during a crash accident, and the fireproof plate can reduce the combustion rate of the integral structure when catching fire. Therefore, the fireproof buffering structure achieves the purposes of safety and comfort. The present application further discloses a supporting cushion apparatus which includes a covering member and the aforementioned fireproof buffering structure accommodated therein. The present application further discloses a child safety car seat which includes the aforementioned fireproof buffering structure and the aforementioned supporting cushion apparatus.

Embodiments of the disclosure generally provide compositions and methods involving the reaction extrusion of flame retardant polyhydroxyalkanoates with renewable resource content.

A thermal insulator composition and methods of manufacturing made from an admixture of a molding compound, a fire suppressant, and a bonding agent. Water can be added to the admixture to develop the insulator into different phases such as liquid and semi-liquid. The molding compound may be a co-polymer such as an acrylate, polyethylmethacrylate, benzoyl peroxide, titanium dioxide, and one or more iron oxides. The fire suppressant may be an aqueous acrylic acid and potassium co-polymer combination, cross-linked modified polyacrylamides/potassium acrylate or polyacrylamides/sodium acrylate. The bonding agent may be a composition of ethyl methacrylate, hydroxyproptyl methacrylate, clycerol dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol, dimethacrylate, dimethyltolyamine, benzophenone-3, and hydroquinone.
