45 Degree is used to evaluate compliance of fire-retardant products with fire-retardant performance standards according to the combustion method, and measures combustion characteristics such as After Glow and After Flame of test specimen installed at a 45-degree angle.
FESTEC 45˚ Flammability tests After Flame Time and After Glow Time of specimen by heat in the chamber.
This measures flame retardance about specimen of less than 5 mm thick (Board, Plate, Sheet, Film and so on) by 45˚ Micro and Airmix method and evaluates materials about 3rd grade of flame retardance (less than 15cm and 5 seconds)
