    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UL_94

    UL 94, the Standard for Safety of Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances testing, is a plastics flammability standard released by Underwriters Laboratories of the United States. [1] The standard determines the material's tendency to either extinguish or spread the flame once the specimen has been ignited.

  3. Fire-safe polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-safe_polymers

    Incorporating flame-resistant additives into polymers became a common and relatively cheap way to reduce the flammability of polymers, [6] while synthesizing intrinsically fire-resistant polymers has remained a more expensive alternative, although the properties of these polymers are usually more efficient at deterring combustion.

    An example of a HMIS III label for Diesel fuel.. The Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS) is a proprietary numerical hazard rating that incorporates the use of labels with color bars developed by the American Coatings Association as a compliance aid for the OSHA Hazard Communication (HazCom) Standard.

  5. Polybutylene terephthalate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybutylene_terephthalate

    Phosphorus-based flame retardant systems are used in these fire-safe polymers and are based on aluminium diethyl phosphinate and synergists. They are designed to meet UL 94 flammability tests as well as Glow Wire Ignition Tests (GWIT), Glow Wire Flammability Test (GWFI) and Comparative Tracking Index (CTI). Main applications are in the ...

  6. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Combustibility_and_flammability

    The flame point of a material is a temperature value at which sustained flame can be supported on the material once ignited by an external source. [28] Once the flame point of a material is reached, it produces enough fuel vapors or oils to support continuous burning.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FR-4

    FR-4 is a composite material composed of woven fiberglass cloth with an epoxy resin binder that is flame resistant (self-extinguishing). "FR" stands for "flame retardant", and does not denote that the material complies with the standard UL94V-0 unless testing is performed to UL 94, Vertical Flame testing in Section 8 at a compliant lab. The ...
