Flame retardant properties and fire protection properties of aircraft materials:
In the standard fire test, the object should have the ability to meet the required stability and/or integrity and/or thermal insulation and/or other performance requirements within a set period of time.
Aircraft Materials - Reaction to Fire:
As the name suggests, if a fire breaks out, a relatively safe place cannot guarantee safety without certainty of safety. Therefore, materials for vehicle construction and trim must be non-flammable and have a low overall release of heat, smoke, and toxic gases.
Aircraft material flame retardant test, fire test to prove
Achieve acceptable control of fire hazard
Achieve acceptable control of the total levels of heat, smoke and toxic gases when all major material surfaces used are exposed to a fire source
All materials or items required to be used as fireproof panels, and materials and items required to function when exposed to fire sources, should achieve acceptable fire resistance
Aircraft fireproof materials
Rubber products (sealing rings)
Plastic products
Fire retardant coating
Fireproof glue
Wires and cables
Fire-resistant fabrics (curtains, seat covers, carpets, etc.)
