SABIC Innovative Plastics Announces VDE Certification of 10 Flame-retardant Materials for Household Appliance Applications
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – August 5, 2008 – To help household appliance manufacturers accelerate time to market by streamlining regulatory approvals, SABIC Innovative Plastics today announced a full portfolio of flame-retardant materials that have achieved certification from VDE (Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V), a German testing organization. Because these 10 materials have successfully passed VDE’s stringent testing for compliance with the IEC 60335 standard for unattended household appliances, particularly the recently introduced glow wire ignition test (GWIT) for flammability, manufacturers do not have to spend time and resources on additional testing of plastic parts. Further, the breadth and depth of this portfolio, featuring many halogen-free grades, provides easy, one-stop shopping.
