Flame retardancy i.e. self-extingushing property
Flame retardancy of PVC can be defined not only as having low ignition potential but also as having self-extinguishing property, which means that even if the PVC is ignited the fire will not flare up and self-ignite in time, minimizing spread of the fire.
Combustion comparison test between ACHILLES FLARRE and conventional PVC film has shown that

Burnung Test

  1. In 15 to 20 seconds (after flame started to contact), ACHILLES FLARRE shows no sign of ignition, while conventional PVC is burning.
  2. In minutes, only a small flame is observed on ACHILLES FLARRE, while fire spreads all over on conventional PVC with large flames burning.
  3. After flame source is removed, fire on ACHILLES FLARRE subsided and finally Self-Extinguished.

The above well demonstrate ACHILLES FLARRE's flame retardancy, i.e. self-extinguishing property.
Note, however, being self-extinguishing means that, with fire source removed, the fire dies out, but with fire source existing, the fire will not die out.
