Flammability Testing of Plastics and Polymers

Intertek provides flammability testing of plastics and polymer materials. Flammability is used to determine the relative rate of burning of self-supporting plastics. Such flammability testing can be used for quality control, production control and material comparisons, it cannot be used as a measurement for fire hazards. Contact Intertek for testing your plastic and polymer products for flammability characteristics.

Flammability Tests for Plastics and Polymers include:

• Flammability of Plastics and Polymers:
  • UL-94
  • ASTM D635
  • 49 CFR-571.302
  • ISO 3795
    
    
• Minimum Oxygen Concentration to Support Candle-Like Combustion of Plastics
  (Oxygen Index) ASTM D2863
  
  

• Pyrolysis Combustion Flow Calorimetry for Flammability Testing of Plastics and other Materials
  • Ignition Temperature, Heat of Combustion, Specific Heat Release Rate
  • Data produced correlates with fire test data (Cone Calorimeter and OSU), with flammability results obtained using an LOI or a UL-94 test, and combustion tests by Bomb Calorimetry.
