Polycarbonate flammability is one of the most common reasons why companies phone us or read our technical blog. The high level of interest is because there is very little accurate information available from polycarbonate sheet producers and suppliers and that the subject can be confusing due to the highly technical nature.
To address this issue we have written three blog post on the subject:
- UL 94 – Test for Flammability of Plastics Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances.
- Polycarbonate Flammability and Building Codes.
- Polycarbonate – Flammability in Transport Applications.
These blog posts are technical by design and are intended to discuss the standards relevant for different applications. They are thoroughly researched to make sure they are accurate, as we find a lot of conflicting and erroneous information on the websites of many suppliers.
We recognize that while we have provided a lot of technical information, the subject of flammability and polycarbonate sheet can be confusing. In many cases a user of polycarbonate sheet just needs to know what type of polycarbonate sheet to purchase for a particular application, so that they will meet the relevant standards and provide a safe product for their customer.
Many of these applications can be very specific and cannot be fully answered by a single blog post. As you can see from the above blog posts, we have a lot of technical expertise in this area. Just give us a call on 267.847.0056 or send us an email at info@highlinepc.com and we can talk through your extruded sheet project with you and make recommendations on which grades of polycarbonate sheet to use, which specifications are relevant and how to comply with the relevant standards.
