The present disclosure provides a fire retardant composition that includes a non-intumescent composition and an intumescent composition, fire retardant coatings including the same, and methods of preparation and use thereof.

A fire suppression composition comprises CF.sub.3I and CO.sub.2, wherein said CF.sub.3I is present in an amount of from 23 mol. % to 39 mol. %, based on the total moles of CF.sub.3I and CO.sub.2 present in the fire suppression composition. Alternatively, the fire suppression composition comprises CF.sub.3I and CO.sub.2, wherein said CF.sub.3I is present in an amount of from 53 mol. % to 85 mol. %, based on the total moles of CF.sub.3I and CO.sub.2 present in the fire suppression composition.

Disclosed is a flame-retardant insulation bar manufactured by extruding an insulation composition including any one base resin selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyurethane, polyester, and combinations thereof, a reinforcing agent, a flame retardant, and an additive.
