Fire-Resistant Flexible Foams for High-Risk Cushioning Applications

摘要

In this paper, the fire-performance characteristics and physical properties of highly flame retarded polyurethane-neoprene compound cushioning products will be discussed. The cushioning product for aviation industry, Airflex, is manufactured in distinct seat and back selections, in a variety of colors for a comprehensive variety of firmness choices. Airflex foam cushioning will easily meet fire-testing standards required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) when tested in composite with properly treated dress covering fabrics. In addition to fire-retardant characteristics, these low-density foam grades show excellent comfort and physical properties. Safguard? cushioning products are utilized to make military, institutional, healthcare, psychiatric, university and crib/youth mattresses that need to meet fire performance standards such as CAL. TB No. 129, City of Boston BFD IX-11, NFPA 101? Life Safety Code?, ASTM E-1590, CAL. TB 603 and the US Navy (NAVSEA PD 1-00, NFPA 267-98 modified). The contract furniture applications with these foam grades easily comply with CAL. TB No. 133 and ASTM E-1537 when tested in composite with FR upholstery fabrics. Safguard? XL cushioning is designed to provide maximum cushion durability for rail and bus transportati6n vehicles and comply with component fire performance characteristics in accordance with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) regulations.
