Fire-testing products have been increasing in importance in recent times. It is essential that products and materials are as flame-resistant as possible for reasons of safety and regulations. It is also important that a product generate as little smoke as possible in the event that it does ignite; this can help save lives. The main issues which should be taken into consideration in product development are:
- Adhering to local, state, or national product standards
- Producing low-flammability products
- Preventing products from igniting quickly and burning rapidly
- Knowing how flammable products behave
- Generating the least amount of smoke possible
Netzsch supplies many fire-testing systems for investigating nearly any kind of material.
