Benefits of Flamebloc Flame Retardants/Smoke Suppressants (con’t) Does not noticeably degrade final physical properties of most finished products Heat Stabilization Effect Unlike products like Zinc Borate, that significantly degrade a polymer’s final physical properties, the Barium and Calcium Metaborates act as stabilizers and do not degrade the polymer’s final properties to that degree Safer product (MSDS) than many of its competitors Benefits of Flamebloc Flame Retardants/Smoke Suppressants (con’t) Reduced toxic smoke emissions and total smoke The Flamebloc products keep the Peak Rate of Heat Release and Total Heat Release (cone calorimeter) low thus creating less combustibles and less smoke. Also the byproducts of BMB and CMB are less toxic than some of its counterparts. Non-halogen Test Methods There are many different tests for determining the degree of flame retardancy of materials. The correlation of performance between test methods is poor. Therefore, a system that passes one test, might not pass or may need modification in order to pass a different test. Following is a list of some of the more common test. Measuring Flammability/Smoke The two most popular laboratory methods of measuring flammability are UL -94 Limited Oxygen Tests While such small scale tests are useful for comparative studies, they do not predict the level of hazard in an actual room fire. Measuring Flammability/SmokeUL-94 The UL-94 requirements cover tests for flammability of plastic materials used to manufacture parts in devices and appliances. They are intended to provide an indication of a resin’s flammability , and therefore acceptability for a particular application. Tests: Horizontal Burning Test; 94HB 20MM Vertical Burning Test; 94V-0, 94V-1, or 94V-2 Measuring Flammability/SmokeUL-94 (cont) Measuring Flammability/SmokeUL-94 (cont) Measuring Flammability/SmokeUL-94 (cont) Measuring Flammability/SmokeUL-94 (cont) Tests: Horizontal Burning Test; 94HB 20 MW Vertical Burn
