Description:

Flame retardancy test is conducted to assess the combustion characteristics of products and materials. Many products require flame retardancy test, such as fire-resistant materials, building materials, electronic and electrical products, textiles, household goods, plastics, coatings, etc.

Based on combustion factors or combustion characteristics, flame retardant material combustion tests are typically divided into ignition test, burning test, heat release test, smoke test, gas test, and fire resistance test.

Performance Evaluation:

A series of tests are conducted according to current international standards or specific regulations (set by purchasers) to evaluate the flame retardancy of materials. The following parameters are tested:

(1)Ignitability and combustibility: The ease of ignition;

(2)Flame spread rate: The rate at which flames propagate along the material surface;

(3)Fire resistance: The rate at which fire penetrates material components;

(4)Heat release rate (HRR): The amount and rate of heat released during material combustion;

(5)Self-extinguishing capability;

(6)Smoke generation: Including smoke volume, smoke release rate, and smoke composition;

(7)Generation of toxic gases: Including gas volume, release rate, and composition.
