Fire-resistant rectangular plastic wastebasket, 14 liters, gray

Fire-Resistant Waste Baskets

Our fire-retardant plastic waste basket is specially designed to offer increased fire safety. Made from self-extinguishing polypropylene, it ensures that the risk of flame spread is minimized. This feature makes it an ideal choice for sensitive environments like hotel rooms and offices.

Capacity 14 liters

With a capacity of 12 liters, this waste basket provides ample space for daily waste without being cumbersome. Its optimal size ensures that it can be easily placed in any corner of a room without disrupting the aesthetics or functionality of the space.

Self-Extinguishing Polypropylene

Made from V0 class polypropylene according to the UL94 standard, this waste basket guarantees a high level of safety. This self-extinguishing material significantly reduces the risk of fire spread, thus offering additional protection in professional environments.

Available in Multiple Colors and Shapes

In addition to gray, our waste basket is also available in black, allowing you to choose the one that best matches your decor. The variety of shapes and colors offers maximum flexibility in aesthetic choice.

Certified by CNPP

This waste basket is certified by CNPP, which attests to its compliance with the strictest safety standards. You can have peace of mind knowing that you have chosen a product that is both functional and secure.

The UL94 Standard

The UL94 standard is a classification standard for plastic materials based on their flame behavior, established by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). It is commonly used to assess the flammability resistance of materials under specific conditions.

This standard is essential in sectors such as electronics, automotive, and industry, where fire safety is paramount.

Main Classifications

UL94 tests aim to evaluate the burning rate, the material's ability to extinguish itself, and whether flaming droplets fall. Here are the most common classifications:

Vertical Test Ratings

V-0:

• The flame extinguishes in less than 10 seconds after the ignition source is removed.
• No flaming droplets.

V-1:

• The flame extinguishes in less than 30 seconds after the ignition source is removed.
• No flaming droplets.

V-2:

• The flame extinguishes in less than 30 seconds.
• Flaming droplets allowed.

Horizontal Test Ratings

HB (Horizontal Burning):

• The material burns slowly, but at a controlled rate. This is the minimum rating.

Other Classifications 5VA and 5VB:

These classifications are stricter than V-0.

5VA:

• No hole is formed in the sample after the test.

5VB:

• Holes may form, but the flame extinguishes quickly.
• HF-1, HF-2 (for foams):
• Evaluate flexible polymer foams.

Test Method

Material samples are exposed to a flame for a certain time, then observed for:

• The time required for extinction.
• The production of flaming droplets.
• The spread of the flame.

Importance The UL94 classification helps manufacturers choose materials suitable for fire safety requirements for specific applications. It is often used in conjunction with other standards, such as those from IEC or ISO, to ensure enhanced safety in final products.
