Flammability Properties of Polymers
Flammability Properties testing of polymers and plastics.
Flammability properties of polymers and plastics are measured by Intertek laboratories. The flammability tests provide information for various materials.
Polymers flammability properties testing:
- Small Scale Flammability:
UL, CFR, FMVSS, ASTM, ISO, automotive, aerospace and building specifications. - Room Burn Apparatus:
The room burn apparatus is used for testing wall panels, wall coverings, foam plastics, and an assortment of other materials and configurations. - Open Calorimeter:
In addition to room testing, calorimeter tests can be run under the open hood in compliance with federal, state or local fire codes and requirements including testing to UL 1056 and UL 1895. The hood can also be used to run custom tests of materials. - Intermediate Scale Calorimeter (ICAL):
The Intermediate Scale Calorimeter (ICAL) is used for testing to ASTM E1623, to determine ignitability, heat release rates, mass loss rates, and smoke development of materials, products and assemblies under a large hood.
