Judgement of Flame Retardant Grade

Apr 15, 2022

Flame retardant grade refers to the property that the substance or material has after treatment to significantly delay the spread of flame, and is divided into a grade system based on this.


 The flame retardant grade of plastics increases gradually from HB, V-2 and V-1 to V-0:


 1. HB: the lowest flame retardant grade in UL94 standard. For samples 3 to 13 mm thick, the combustion rate is required to be less than 40 mm per minute; For samples less than 3 mm thick, the combustion rate is less than 70 mm per minute; Or go out in front of the 100mm mark.

 2. V-2: after two 10 second combustion tests on the sample, the flame goes out within 60 seconds. There can be combustibles falling.

 3. V-1: after two 10 second combustion tests on the sample, the flame goes out within 60 seconds. No combustibles can fall.

 4. V-0: after two 10 second combustion tests on the sample, the flame goes out within 30 seconds. No combustibles can fall.
