Does the artificial turf have a flame retardant composition? What is the principle of artificial turf flame retardant? How is the artificial turf flame retardant test standard specified? More and more families use artificial turf, which puts higher demands on the artificial turf flame retardant.
Flame-retardant artificial turf means that the artificial grass will extinguish itself after the fire, that is, when the artificial grass is exposed to open flame, the burning rate drops sharply until it is extinguished by itself, and the whole piece will not burn. It can guarantee that people will not be harmed by fire during the use of artificial turf, and it can provide more protection for people's lives and property safety.
At the same time, the flame retardancy of artificial turf is required to pass the Swiss SGS flame retardant testing agency certification and the National Sports Goods Quality Supervision and Testing Center.
Artificial turf has a flame retardant composition? The artificial turf is mainly added with flame retardant components in the process of drawing artificial grass, and the flame retardant component is mainly a flame retardant. Generally, artificial turf contains 10%-20% flame retardant. The flame retardant added by artificial turf has good compatibility. The flame retardant has good thermal stability, heat decomposition resistance, and has anti-UV characteristics. The flame retardant does not affect the quality of the product, and the flame retardant effect of the lawn can reach level 1.
The flame retardant principle of general flame retardants is mainly divided into the following four types:
1. Produce a gas that can suffocate the flame. For example, antimony trioxide, when it encounters HCL generated by combustion in PVC, can react with it to form a suffocating gas, that is, nitrogen oxides of antimony, thereby exerting a flame retarding effect.
2. Absorb the heat generated during combustion, which has the effect of cooling and slowing down the burning rate.
3. Provide a layer of insulation that is isolated from oxygen and self-extinguish due to the isolation of oxygen. For example, the phosphide formed when the phosphate flame retardant is burned is an oxygen barrier.
4. Generate free radicals that react with plastics, and their reaction products with plastics can act as flame retardants.
What is the method for detecting the flame retardancy of artificial turf? The artificial turf needs to have SGS fireproof certification. The test method is to take an appropriate amount of artificial turf sample according to the filling ratio of 1kg to 25kg-80kg, and the burning spot diameter should not exceed 5cm (center to damaged edge). The artificial turf has a flame retardancy of 1 grade. At the same time, the artificial turf burning standard must meet the national sporting goods quality testing standards. In addition, the International SGS Testing Center requires that all artificial turf for sale must have good fire performance to ensure the safety rate of artificial turf and reduce the risk factor.
