Why is the flammability test very important？

For example, most electrical insulators are not flammable at all. For example, ceramics, porcelain or glass are not flammable at all. Many minerals, such as mica, quartz, sapphire, almost all silicates and most metal oxides are good electrical insulators and none are flammable. Most silicones and vinyl polymers are excellent insulators, but will only barely burn.

Finally, most hydrocarbons are excellent insulators. These include waxes, oils, natural rubber and most polymers. Strong covalent bonds tend to provide very few free electrons or ions to support electrical conductivity, making them good electrical insulators. Most of these are indeed very flammable, as they are easily oxidised.

Why is the flammability test very important？

Fire accidents caused by flammable clothing in daily life occur frequently at home and abroad. So people are paying more and more attention to the flame-retardant properties of textile and clothing products.

The research of flame retardant performance testing methods is also the focus of scientific researchers.
