FDM – Firewire Flame Retardant ABS
Firewire Flame Retardant ABS is a premium UL94 V-0 rated ABS that allows for printing of functional prototypes and production parts. This material is made using a premium UL94 V-0 rated ABS. Flame Retardant ABS is ideal for applications that require UL94 V-0 self-extinguishing characteristics.
Common Applications:
- Electrical housings
- Connectors
- Any part that requires thermal properties up to 95°C
- Durable and sturdy parts with highly flame-retardant, self-extinguishing properties
Flame Rating (UL94):
- 1.5mm: *V-0
- 2.0mm: *V-0, 5VB
- 2.5mm: *V-0, 5VB
- 3.0mm: *V-0, 5VB
*V-0 Vertical Burn: Burning stops within 10 seconds after two applications of ten seconds each of a flame to a test bar. NO flaming drips are allowed.
