Fluoropolymers are a family of exceptional, high-performance materials that are widely used today – and for good reason, since they are stable plastics that resist degradation under harsh conditions and are inherently flame retardant.
Today, fluoropolymers serve a broad range of applications with their unique material properties, including chemical inertness, low friction, weatherability, natural flame retardance, temperature resistance, and barrier properties.
For example, fluoropolymers are used as coatings for wire and cable found in buildings and aircraft thanks to their natural flame retardance.

With excellent mechanical properties, these TPEs offer UV resistance, low compression set, flame retardance, and weatherability.
Flame retardant
Halogen free, flame retardant TPEs formulated to provide good flexibility, lower moisture absorption, good insulation, and RoHS compliance.

In this area, static discharge can also be a fire
risk; a sudden discharge of static can damage
products like computer chips or even cause a fire or
explosion in hazardous areas.

Typically, nylon materials provide strength, durability, good stiffness and impact strength and can be tailored to enhance chemical and fire resistance.
Tailored chemical and fire resistance
https://www.avient.com/products/advanced-composites/composite-ballistic-protection/glasarmor-ballistic-resistant-panels
Originally developed for protection from mortar fire, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite panels offer ballistic resistance at less than 25 percent of the weight of a comparable steel panel.
