Polyonics Introduces FMVSS 302 Flame Retardant Label Materials
Westmoreland, NH (PRWEB) June 29, 2016 -- Polyonics manufactures flame retardant materials used by automakers for under-the-hood and interior ID, tracking and warning labels. The polyimide and polyester (PET) materials are rated by UL94 as meeting their VTM-0 standard and are tested by a third party laboratory as passing the rigorous FMVSS 302 automotive burn standard.
The thermal transfer and flexographic printable materials range from the low cost PET XF-611, with a 150°C operational temperature, to the high temperature polyimide XF-603 that operates at 260°C. The XF-603 is also rated to the UL94 V0 standard plus provides low smoke and toxicity per the aerospace BSS 7238/7239 standard.
Durable Fire Prevention
Polyonics flame retardant label materials provide superior ink reception for long lasting high contrast printing. Their durable print surfaces don't fade or yellow when exposed to the high temperatures, abrasion and harsh chemicals typical of under the hood and interior applications. The materials use FlameGard™ technology, a combination of PIN-based chemical and physical mechanisms, to control heat, oxygen and flammable gases and help prevent the propagation of fire. They also include aggressive flame retardant PSAs well suited for a wide variety of automotive applications.
