WUXI FORE-TECH CO.,LTD.

Profile with flame retardant grade (V0) refers to profiles that have been treated with flame retardant additives to prevent, restrict or delay the spread of fire. These profiles are rated V0 under the UL94 standard, meaning that they are self-extinguishing within a specified time frame and do not continue to burn after removing the source of ignition. Profiles with V0 flame retardant grade are commonly used in high-risk industries, such as automotive, electrical, and construction, where elevated temperatures or exposure to sparks or flames increase the risk of fire. This specialized treatment provides a valuable layer of protection against fire hazards, ensuring the safety of people and property.

Types of Custom Profile with Flame-retardant Grade (V0)

  • Profile with Flame Retardant Grade for House Appliances
    These profiles are designed for house appliances such as ovens, microwaves, and other household electrical devices. The V0 flame retardant grade ensures that the profiles are highly resistant to heat and do not catch fire easily. These profiles are made of PVC, rubber, or TPU materials, which are highly durable and long-lasting.

What Is V0 Level Flame Retardant?

  • Definition

    This point would explain what V0 level flame retardant means and how it is different from other flame retardancy levels. V0 is a rating that applies to various materials and indicates a high level of resistance to flames.

  • Testing Standards

    This point would outline the testing standards and protocols used to determine materials with V0 level flame retardancy. Various industry standards define the criteria for a material to achieve a V0 rating, which typically involves exposure to a flame source for a specified period while monitoring flame spread time.

  • Mechanical and Chemical Properties

    This point would examine the mechanical and chemical properties of materials with V0 level flame retardancy. Materials with high flame retardancy often have additional benefits such as strength, durability, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and more.

Comparing V0 Flammability to V2 Flammability

Comparing V0 Flammability to V2 Flammability

1. Flame Retardancy: This point would compare the flame retardancy performance of V0 and V2 flammability ratings. V0 custom extruded profiles is a higher rating indicating superior flame retardancy with almost no spread of flames, while V2 offers less resistance to fire, with some burning and limited flame spread.


2. Material Durability: This point would compare the durability of materials with V0 and V2 flammability ratings. V0 materials often have superior durability because they are made from high-quality materials that can withstand heat and other environmental factors. In contrast, V2 materials may be less durable than V0 because the materials may not have the same level of protection against environmental factors.
