What is v0 rating?
V-0 Vertical Burn Burning stops within 10 seconds after two applications of ten seconds each of a flame to a test bar. NO flaming drips are allowed. V-1 Vertical Burn Burning stops within 60 seconds after two applications of ten seconds each of a flame to a test bar. NO flaming drips are allowed.
Which is better v0 or v2?
V-2: burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of flaming particles are allowed. V-0: burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen; drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
Is ABS plastic fire resistant?

What is ul94vo?
Here we look at the UL standard 94-V0 which is used as a safety standard across a number of sectors relating to material’s flammability. UL94 is a standard set by UL for testing for flammability of plastics however, the standard is widely used and accepted within the rubber industry.
What is UL94 VTM?
V-0: if flame extinguishes within 10 seconds with no dripping. V1: if flame extinguishes within 30 seconds with no dripping.
What is a flammability rating?
The horizontal burning test is used to determine the HB flammability rating of a material. The flammability rating is calculated for a test specimen as a function of the burning rate and taking account of the material thickness.
Is ABS pipe fire rated?
When properly installed in compliance with building and fire codes, ABS can be used in fire-rated construction, such as high-rise dwellings. Schedule 40 ABS DWV systems are suitable for fire-rated wall, floor and ceiling assemblies. ABS pipe must be heated to over 871°F (465°C) before it will self-ignite.
