Flame retardant materials refer to materials that can inhibit or delay combustion but are not easy to burn. At present, they are mainly divided into four categories: organic and inorganic, halogen and non halogen. They are mainly used in plastics, foam plastics, films, textiles, coatings, rubber, automotive interior parts, electrical and electronic products, etc., and are widely used in rail transit, aerospace, electronics, building materials, textiles, household furniture and other fields.
Flame retardant materials are one of the important materials related to social public safety and the safety of people's lives and property, and are essential key materials. Especially in some rapidly developing fire sensitive industries such as rail transit, aerospace, automobiles, etc., the selection of materials will fully consider the flame retardant, low smoke, non-toxic and other characteristics of the materials. With the development of the industry, flame retardant performance testing standards applicable to this industry have been introduced and gradually improved.
Many materials, such as textiles, plastics, rubber, etc., have a wide range of applications, and the consumption of various civilian and industrial materials is increasing year by year. The flame retardant standards that need to be met are also becoming increasingly complex. Taking textiles as an example, there are about 43 methods for testing the flame retardancy of textiles in China. For many flame retardant material companies, meeting the flame retardant performance requirements in the corresponding field is particularly important. Especially in the fields of rail transit and civil aviation, there are independent and strict industry/enterprise standards and detailed testing requirements. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the flame retardant standards of these two typical industries, hoping to be helpful to everyone.
The rapid development of the rail transit industry in recent years has brought new opportunities to rail transit enterprises across the country. The safe and stable development of rail transit vehicles is due to the correct selection of rail transit materials. The fire and flame retardant performance of vehicles and interiors plays a crucial role in the safety of transportation processes. The domestic and foreign markets have increasingly high requirements for the fire and flame retardant capabilities of non-metallic components and materials of transportation vehicles. Corresponding fire and flame retardant standards and directives have been issued both domestically and internationally, becoming entry requirements for the local market.
