How can manufacturers customize fire-resistant and flame-retardant silicone products?


Perhaps some friends have certain special requirements for customized silicone products, such as flame-retardant silicone products, which have a certain degree of fire and flame retardancy. Before customizing flame-retardant silicone products, we need to understand the flame-retardant materials!


Firstly, in our silicone product factory, as long as there are users involved in high temperature production, silicone products in the electronics industry have a certain degree of flame retardancy. This is because silicone flame retardants are added to the silicone raw materials, which can absorb a large amount of latent heat when the silicone products are heated, and can release water molecules when the silicone products are heated and decomposed! This reduces the actual temperature of silicone products and has a certain dispersing effect on nearby combustible concentrations!


Fireproof and flame-retardant silicone products are divided into four fire protection levels: UL94HB, UL94V-2, UL94V-1, and UL94V-0! UL94HB is the lowest standard among the four grades, which can be achieved by most silicone products! The UL94V-0 rating requires the shortest reignition length and the shortest self ignition time, so the rating is the highest! It is also the most difficult standard to achieve!


After adding flame retardants, the elastic function of silicone products decreases, the vulcanization molding time prolongs, and the production efficiency also decreases! Customizing flame-retardant silicone products by manufacturers incurs high costs, and choosing a professional manufacturer is particularly important!
