This study uses intumescent/low-melting glass flame retardants (FRs) to tailor fire residues in epoxy resin. Processibility of prepregs, and their quality are analysed for transfer of the flame-retardant epoxy resins to layered glass-fiber reinforced composites (GFRCs). Minimal effects were found on the pre-fire flexural strengths of the composites due to low loading of the FRs. However, when transferred to GFRCS, the fire residues diminish significantly. Process, testing, and material adaptations are required to improve theoretical and experimental estimations of the post-fire mechanics of the composites.
