When a mask is accidentally exposed to flame, its flame retardant performance is directly related to the safety of medical personnel. Therefore, the flame retardancy of the mask is one of the important physical indicators to measure the quality of medical masks. It is related to the material of the mask fabric itself on the one hand, and the flame retardant treatment effect on the surface of the fabric on the other.

The following commonly used mask standards all stipulate the combustion performance:

GB 19083-2010, YY 0469 stipulates: the mask material should be made of non-flammable materials, and the mask burns for no more than 5s after leaving the flame.

GB 2626 stipulates: if the product design is not flame retardant, it is necessary to provide explanatory information. If the product design is flame retardant, each part exposed to the flame will continue to burn for no more than 5s after the flame leaves.

Medical Face Mask Flame Resistance test:

Using a metal head mold and a burner, the mask wearer was simulated to pass through a high-temperature flame, and the flame retardant effect of the mask was detected.

Testing instrument: Mask Flame Retardant Tester GT-RA06
