Abstract
To realize the flame retardant of bitumens correctly is of great significance for academicians and technicians. This chapter begins by introducing the types and properties of conventional flame retardants modified bitumen. It then based on exist disadvantages of conventional flame retardants modified bitumen, further introduces environmental friendly flame retardants using in bitumen and bitumen/flame retardants nanocomposites. The chapter finally outlines a short commentary on likely future trends and provides some sources of further information and advice.
