For a plastic to be designated as flame-retardant, it has to pass a burn test (the most common being the <a href=\"#UL94\">UL 94 certification<\/a>), which involves the flame being extinguished within a specified time frame or before a permissible amount of the material has burned.<\/p>\n\n\n    <aside data-id=\"UL94\" class=\"aside-popup\">\r\n        <div class=\"popup-content\">\r\n            <div class=\"popup-close-btn\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/themes\/xometry\/assets\/images\/cross.svg\" alt=\"close-popup\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div>\r\n                <div class=\"popup-title\">UL 94<\/div><div class=\"popup-text\">UL 94 is a globally recognized standard for testing the flammability of plastic materials, adopted by manufacturers in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, and T\u00fcrkiye.<\/div>            <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n    <\/aside>\r\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLS-PA-2241-FR-3D-lighter-test.gif\" alt=\"Example of how SLS PA 2241 FR 3D print does not ignite when exposed to direct fire\" class=\"wp-image-35879\" style=\"max-width:838px;height:auto\"\/><a class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button\" href=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLS-PA-2241-FR-3D-lighter-test.gif\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-35963\" data-caption=\"Example of how SLS PA 2241 FR 3D print does not ignite when exposed to direct fire\" aria-label=\"Open full image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/SLS-PA-2241-FR-3D-lighter-test.gif\" class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><svg class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n               <path d=\"M0 2V6H2V2H6V0H2C0.895 0 0 0.895 0 2ZM2 12H0V16C0 17.105 0.895 18 2 18H6V16H2V12ZM16 16H12V18H16C17.105 18 18 17.105 18 16V12H16V16ZM16 0H12V2H16V6H18V2C18 0.895 17.105 0 16 0Z\" fill=\"#092C47\"\/>\r\n             <\/svg><\/a><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Example of how SLS PA 2241 FR 3D print does not ignite when exposed to direct fire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-flame-retardancy\"><strong>What is Flame Retardancy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Flame retardancy in plastics such as ABS or PA (Nylon) is achieved by infusing them with flame-retardant chemicals. This process involves endothermic reactions that absorb heat, reducing the material&#8217;s temperature, which delays ignition and flame spread. Additionally, it promotes char formation which acts as a protective barrier to further burning.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flame-retardant-flame-resistant-and-fire-retardant-are-not-the-same\"><strong>Flame Retardant, Flame Resistant, and Fire Retardant are not the same<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Understanding the distinct properties of flame retardant, flame resistant, and fire retardant materials is crucial because these terms are not synonymous.

The key distinction between these two ratings lies in the test orientation (horizontal vs. vertical) and the flame resistance needed for each. The HB classification monitors burn rates to meet specific criteria, but it doesn\u2019t guarantee self-extinguishment post-flame removal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most plastics at standard thicknesses, can achieve HB without extra additives. Conversely, V-0 rated plastics demonstrate superior flame resistance, extinguishing post-flame removal, often requiring special additives. For example, PA 12 (Nylon) for SLS in its regular state is HB-rated. But its flame-retardant option, <a href=\"https:\/\/store.eos.info\/products\/pa-2210-fr-polyamide-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PA 2210 FR,<\/a> is V-0 rated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The

For example, flame-retardant plastics, such as fame-retardant ABS, are used in interior components, such as dashboards, upholstery, and wiring harnesses, to reduce the risk of fire in the event of a collision or electrical malfunction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aerospace component fabrication<\/strong>: In the aerospace industry, flame-retardant materials are used in aircraft interiors, cabin furnishings, and electrical components. Many manufacturers tend to use ULTEM 9085 for CNC machining of cabin components, since this material is renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio and flame retardancy, meeting the UL 04 flammability standards. The use of ULTEM 9085 significantly reduced the risk of in-flight fire hazards and contributed to overall aircraft safety.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electronics industry:<\/strong> Flame-retardant materials are essential in the electronics industry to protect sensitive electronic components and electrical devices, and make sure the products meet fire safety standards. Flame-retardant plastics are used in housing materials, circuit boards, and connectors to reduce the risk of fire-related failures and malfunctions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consumer products:<\/strong> Flame-retardant materials are commonly used in consumer goods such as furniture, appliances, and electronics to improve fire safety. For example, flame-retardant fabrics are used in upholstered furniture and bedding to reduce the risk of ignition and slow down the spread of fire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"get-flame-retardant-parts-for-your-project\"><strong>Get Flame Retardant Parts for Your Project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>At Xometry, we have capacities to produce high-quality flame-retardant parts tailored to meet your specific industry requirements.
