Heavy snowfall was retarding the rescue team's progress through the mountains.

The retarding of the assembly line became a major bottleneck, forcing managers to revise the schedule.

The engineers discussed the system delays during the meeting.

The sudden storm retards the progress of the rescue team.

The curing process is retardable under lower temperatures, allowing technicians to extend working time before the material hardens.

The instrument measured several retardances across the sample, revealing unexpected anisotropy.

The bus company installed additional retarders to improve downhill safety.

The engineer installed a retarder on the conveyor line to prevent packages from colliding at the sorting station.

The forest service applied retardants along the fire line to protect the town.

The retardancy of the new polymer was critical to meeting the building code's fire-safety requirements.
