About Fire Retardant

Our Fire Retardant PVC range of products has fireproofing properties, to prevent the breakout and spread of accidental fires.

Fire Retardant PVC complies with regulations such as EUROCLASS, French M classification, German B classification or California Fire Marshal (CFM)

This is the perfect flexible PVC product if your environment needs fire-related protection or is exposed to an environment that needs to withstand a lot of heat. Extruflex's fire retardant PVC has all the same great qualities as the standard PVC product range, having the best clarity, brightness, durability and flexibility on the market.

Why Use Fire Retardant PVC?

Fire Retardant PVC has a large number of applications and should be used as an alternative to standard PVC if there are risks of open flames and flammable materials near the PVC.

This prevents fires from starting or spreading.

Fire Retardant PVC complies with international regulations such as EUROCLASS, M classification, B classification, California Fire Marshal, etc.

Common Applications

Industrial warehousing
Commercial warehousing
Marquess
Partitions
Mining sector
Outdoor barbeque areas

Prevent Fires

Fire retardant PVC is recommended, near campfires, forges, candles or fireplaces. The fire retardant properties of the PVC prevent fires from starting and are therefore a great option for certain use cases where being near open flames is a possibility.

Fire retardant PVC doesn't ignite as easily as other PVC on the market and is therefore extremely safe to use.

How Does Fire Retardant PVC Work ?

To stop a fire, simply remove or reduce one of the three components of the fire triangle:

Heat Elimination
Fuel Disposal
Oxygen Elimination

In soft PVC, the fire retardants can promote the formation of a stable char layer on the surface of PVC.

This char layer acts as a thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer (HEAT) to the underlying material and slowing down the release of flammable volatiles(FUEL).

Euroclass

The Euroclass B classification indicates that the materials have a very low contribution to fire, standing out for their low flammability and their ability not to spread flames quickly.

To obtain this classification, materials must pass standardized tests, as the SBI (Single Burning Item) test and the flame test, showing low flame spread and limited heat production.

In addition, additional parameters such as smoke production (s1, s2, s3) and formation of flaming droplets (d0, d1, d2) are added to detail the performance.

These materials are commonly used in buildings where fire safety is crucial and to comply with strict fire safety standards in Europe.

Extruflex flame retardant PVC can meet Euroclass B,s3-d0 classification.

French M2 fire test

The M2 fire rating is a French classification that evaluates the reaction of materials to fire, indicating that they are difficult to ignite.

Part of a scale ranging from M0 (incombustible) to M4 (easily flammable), M2 materials do not catch fire easily and contribute minimally to the spread of flames.

CFM (California Fire Marshal)

The California Fire Marshal vertical test is a fire safety assessment used to evaluate the flame resistance of materials, particularly for building interiors.

In this test, a material sample is mounted vertically and exposed to a standardized flame for a set period to measure flame spread, burning rate, and the duration of afterflame and afterglow.
