what? Do birthday candles need to be fire-resistant?

27 Mar.,2025

Are you still worried that the base of the birthday candle will be lit as a "torch"? Qibo Technology provides high-performance flame-retardant materials, making the tray fire-resistant and heat-resistant, allowing you to stay safe and celebrate every time!

 

Birthday candles add warmth and ceremony to celebration activities, but there are also certain safety hazards hidden in their use, especially the plastic tray part of the candle base. If the base material lacks flame retardant properties, sparks from candle drops or high-temperature wax oil may cause combustion, posing potential risks to users. Therefore, it is crucial to choose flame-retardant and fire-resistant materials for the plastic tray of the birthday candle base.
The significance of flame retardancy and fire prevention:
1. Improve the safety of use
Flame retardant materials can effectively slow down the spread of flames, reduce the risk of combustion caused by accidental contact with open flames, and ensure user safety from the source.
2. Extend product lifespan
High quality flame-retardant plastic trays not only resist fire, but also have better high-temperature resistance, avoiding failure due to high-temperature deformation or aging during long-term use.
3. Meet regulatory requirements

 

Many countries and regions have strict regulatory requirements for the flame retardant performance of plastic products, and pallets that meet the standards can be more easily tested and enter the market.
The selection of ideal materials:
To ensure the flame retardant performance of the tray, it is recommended to choose the following types of modified materials:
-Polypropylene (PP) or polystyrene (PS) containing flame-retardant masterbatch
After adding flame-retardant masterbatch, these materials can meet the UL94 V-0 flame retardant standard while maintaining their lightweight and durable properties.
-Phosphorus or nitrogen flame retardant system
Halogen free flame retardants are more environmentally friendly and can reduce the release of toxic gases during combustion.
-Modified engineering plastics
For example, PC/ABS alloy has excellent flame retardancy and mechanical properties.
