Direct Flame Resistance Test
Jul 3, 2024
Flame-resistant materials are crucial for safety in various industries. Testing these materials helps understand their effectiveness in preventing fire damage.
Key Points:
- Material Description: A 1.3 mm plate with one side metalized, and the other composite.
- Testing Procedure: Burning test was conducted to check temperature and penetration resistance.
- Unplated Version: Penetrated after 4 minutes of burning.
- Plated Version: With 30 microns of coating, it showed no burning or cracking after 10 minutes.
- Comparison: Both plates had the same thickness, differing only by the 30-micron plating.
A 1.3 mm plate with a 30-micron metalized coating significantly outperformed an unplated version in a burning test, resisting penetration for over 10 minutes compared to 4 minutes for the unplated plate.
Conclusions
- Heat Isolation: Metal plating acts as an active heat isolator.
- Enhanced Thermal Properties: Heat resistance of the metal-plated material significantly improves thermal performance.
- High-Temperature Resistance: The torch flame at over 1000˚C did not penetrate the metal-plated part, despite being plated on only one side.
- Superior Durability: The metalized part withstood over 2.3 times the duration compared to the unplated material.
