Question:

Are electronic plastic shells flame retardant?

Are electronic plastic shells flame retardant?

Answer:

Polyamide, commonly known as nylon (PA), is a thermoplastic resin on the main chain containing repeated amide groups (- NHCO). Nylon has been widely used in various fields because of its good mechanical properties, electrical properties, heat resistance, toughness, oil resistance, wear resistance, self lubrication, chemical resistance and other excellent properties.
Especially in the field of electronic products, there are countless fires caused by nylon, which cause great losses
Without modification of the flame retardant performance of nylon, the vertical combustion can reach UL94 V-2 level, the oxygen index is about 24, and drop in the combustion process, belong to flammable materials, can easily lead to fire during use.
