- Abstract
- This report presents first results of an ignitability test for plastics. A slab of the plastic thicker than 6 mm is exposed to the wake of an 02-rich premixed flat flame. The delay time to ignition is timed with a stop watch. the results are reproducible and are expected to be simply understandable.
