The Importance of Combustion Performance Testing of Automotive Interior Materials

Immediately, the weather is getting warmer, and this scene will occasionally appear on the highway, that is, the car spontaneously ignites. Why does the car catch on fire? The main reason is that the daily maintenance of the car is not in place, the circuit of the electrical components in the car is aging, and the car is privately modified. Nowadays, many automotive interior materials generally do not have fire resistance, so it is of great practical significance to conduct combustion performance tests on automotive interiors. Combustion characteristics are one of the important characteristic indicators of automotive interior materials. The performance of automobile interior materials is most closely related to the occupants. In order to avoid or delay the expansion of combustion, so that the occupants can have a certain time to safely leave the car that may be about to fire, the combustion characteristics test of interior materials is carried out in a specially designed combustion carried out in the box. In the interior design of automobiles, some flammable substances have many parts in contact with the human body, such as seats, car carpets, airbags, etc. When the interior materials of these parts are on fire, they will directly contact the human body and cause serious harm to the human body. ; Some parts of the car such as battery separators, car engine linings, etc., these textiles are close to the car's engine, and it is easy to cause fire when the car's engine fails, causing the entire car to catch fire and bring losses. In view of the above characteristics, people have done a lot of research on the flame retardant of automotive interior materials. For example, Maeda Yumoto of Japan introduced that hydrolysis-resistant polylactic acid fibers are mixed with natural fibers, and compressed by thermal processing to make durable auto parts. Domestic and foreign and major automobile manufacturers have formulated strict regulations on the combustion characteristics of automobile interior materials. In 1987, my country formulated the corresponding standard GB8410-87, which was revised in 1994 to form GB8410-1994. This standard is a national mandatory standard and is one of more than 40 mandatory standards currently implemented by my country's automobile industry. one. According to the experience of developed countries, my country's automotive interior materials must take the road of certification, which is also an inevitable trend of my country's automotive product management. (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. specializes in providing GB8410 flame retardant performance tester for automotive interior materials.
