In materials science and development, the classification of materials based on their flammability is a critical area of research that significantly impacts the development and application of various materials in construction, manufacturing, and other industries. A series of fire classification tests on diverse materials—plastics, wood, glass fiber reinforced plastics, and our PaperShell — reveals insightful outcomes regarding their flammability and response to fire exposure.
In stark contrast, PaperShell material presented a remarkable difference in behavior. Despite being subjected to the same fire exposure as the other materials, PaperShell only ignited slightly and self-extinguished shortly thereafter. This unique property indicates a significant advancement in material science, offering a potentially safer alternative in applications where fire resistance is paramount. The ability of PaperShell to self-extinguish not only minimizes the risk of fire spread but also represents a leap forward in developing sustainable, fire-resistant materials.
”By testing, comparing and visualizing fire tests, we get a receipt of how we stand against competing materials with our materials PaperShell and a modified PaperShell to meet the tough fire requirements found in various key industries.”

We already done a number of tests and knew that PaperShell had high heat resistance and in the near future further flame and fire retardancy certificates will be announced.
