Roles (2)

RoleDescription
flame retardantAny compound that is added to manufactured materials to inhibit, suppress, or delay the production of flames and so prevent the spread of fire.
laxativeAn agent that produces a soft formed stool, and relaxes and loosens the bowels, typically used over a protracted period, to relieve constipation. Compare with cathartic, which is a substance that accelerates defecation. A substances can be both a laxative and a cathartic.
