Flame retardant composites, flame retardant composites, and uses thereof. The flame retardant composite may comprise at least two flame retardant laminates and a porous thermoplastic core material disposed between the at least two flame retardant laminates. Each laminate may have one or more plies, and each of the plies may comprise a plurality of fibers in a thermoplastic polymer matrix comprising a flame retardant composition. The flame retardant composite meets the flammability criteria for rail transport in Europe. |
