The Connection Between Intelligent Toilet Lid and Flame Retardant

11 Feb.,2025

We started with the construction of toilet seats and briefly introduced the importance of flame retardants, as well as how to select flame retardant toilet seats as the target, to gain a deeper understanding of the connection between intelligent toilet seats and flame retardancy.

 

Introduction: The construction of an intelligent toilet mainly includes the seat, nozzle, circuit board, control panel, and a series of complex internal components, such as the waterway and circuit control parts.

The waterway section includes a stabilizing valve component, a flow meter, a heating component, a directional valve component, an air pump, and a spray rod flushing component. The stabilizing valve component is responsible for maintaining stable water output pressure. The flow meter monitors the flow rate and controls the power of the instant heating component to add hot water. The heating component includes ceramic heating tubes, temperature control switches, temperature sensors, etc., used to heat cold water to the set temperature and control the water temperature. The air pump provides compressed air to increase cleaning intensity. Switch the cleaning mode of the directional valve component and control the flow rate. The flushing component consists of a motor, a gear set, and a nozzle, which realizes the flushing function and mobile massage function.
The circuit control part includes power board, main control board, instant heat control board, button board, etc. The power board provides DC voltage and PWM signal to control the seat heater, inlet solenoid valve, drying heater, etc.
In addition, the smart toilet also includes LED display screen, water pump, warm water tank, water pipe, cleaning rod, main control board, remote control receiving window, flushing motor, flushing button, base, water distributor and other components, as well as automatic flip and loop function, heating and drying function, automatic deodorization and sterilization function, automatic closing and energy-saving function, etc.
The internal components of the smart toilet also include seat heating technology, nozzle cleaning function, automatic flip and loop, warm air drying function, automatic deodorization and sterilization function, as well as automatic closing and energy-saving function. These functions together provide users with a comfortable, convenient, and healthy bathroom experience.

The role of flame retardants on toilet lid

Flame retardants can greatly reduce the occurrence rate of fires, delay the speed and intensity of fire spread. Extend people's escape and reaction time, increase chances of survival, and earn more time for firefighters to rescue, thereby reducing casualties.
The relevant fire prevention regulations and standards of various countries mandate that the corresponding plastic components in electronic equipment, buildings, and transportation must meet the requirements of flame retardancy and fire prevention, that is, flame retardants must be added.
According to the European Commission's assessment, the use of flame retardants has reduced the number of fire fatalities in Europe by 20% in the past 10 years. The efficacy of flame retardants has been confirmed.
The Commerce Department of the National Bureau of Standards in the United States conducted fire tests on five types of products, aiming to test the overall effectiveness of flame retardants. The results showed that compared to those who stayed in rooms without flame retardant materials, those who stayed in rooms with flame retardant materials had an average 15 times longer escape time.
The Greenstreet Berman study conducted by the UK government shows that since the enactment of the Furniture and Interior Furnishings Fire Safety Regulations to improve fire safety requirements in the UK, from 2002 to 2007, there has been an average annual reduction of 54 fire fatalities, 780 non fatal burns, and 1065 fire accidents.

Why does the toilet lid catch fire?

The outer layer of the smart toilet is made of uniform plastic material, but the interior contains a series of electrical components such as heating, drying, and electrical control. Plastic material is the best choice for the outer shell due to its comfortable touch, electrical insulation, and clean color. However, due to the presence of internal electrical components, high requirements are placed on the flame resistance (flame retardancy) of plastic materials. So under what circumstances will plastic materials catch fire and burn? Among these three types of electrical component failures, it is most likely.
1. Heating resistor wire overload causes redness and heat generation
2. Arc sparks caused by switches or short circuits (commonly known as ignition)
3. High voltage caused by circuit faults

So for the sake of your own safety, choosing a flame-retardant toilet lid is crucial. In critical moments, it can save your life.

So, how to choose a flame-retardant toilet lid?

We can check the flame-retardant level marked on the toilet lid. Here is a detailed level introduction, which you can click to view. Of course, the V0 level flame retardant level is the most effective.

Our Qibo Technology company has flame retardants applied to toilet lids, which are characterized by high gloss and good antibacterial properties. Our company exported flame retardants to Japan in 2010, and we have more than ten years of experience. If you choose us, we will provide you with corresponding flame retardant solutions.
