More Information
UL 94 HB
- UL 94 HB is a is a safety and flammability standard by Underwriters Laboratories.
- This material is compliant with the UL 94 HB test standard for flammability.
- The horizontal burn test measures how quickly a horizontally oriented polymer specimen burns across when a flame is applied to one end of the sample.
- In order for a material to be classified UL 94 HB, it must not have a burning exceeding 40 mm per minute over a 75 mm span for specimens having a thickness of 3.0 mm to 13 mm. For material with thickness less than 3mm the burning rate should not exceed 75mm per minute over a 75mm span. The material will also be rated as HB if it ceases to burn before the 100mm mark independent of thickness.
UL94 HF-1
- UL94 HF-1 tests measure the ability of a plastic material to resist ignition and burning when exposed to a flame. The test evaluates both the rate at which the material burns and how quickly the flame extinguishes after the source of ignition is removed.
- Materials rated as UL94 HF-1 are considered to be highly flame-retardant. This means that they are less likely to catch fire and will self-extinguish more rapidly compared to materials with lower flame resistance ratings.
- UL94 HF-1 rated materials are commonly used in environments where fire safety is a critical concern. These include electrical appliances, electronic equipment, and other products where fire resistance is crucial to ensure safety and compliance with fire safety standards.
- Achieving a UL94 HF-1 rating indicates that a plastic material meets stringent safety standards for flame resistance. This can be a significant factor in product design and selection for manufacturers who need to comply with fire safety regulations in various industries.
