The oxygen index test is a test method used to evaluate the combustion performance of materials. It measures the minimum oxygen concentration required by a material to sustain combustion in the air, the so-called oxygen index. Oxygen index testing allows us to understand the burning characteristics of materials and thus assess their safety in the event of a fire.

In plastics and textile manufacturing, oxygen index testing is widely used to ensure the fire safety of these materials. If plastics and textiles are not properly fireproofed or if inappropriate materials are selected, they may increase the rate of fire spread or cause greater fire damage when a fire breaks out.

For example, in the construction industry, if the plastics and textiles used fail to meet relevant fire protection standards, they can pose a threat to the safety of building users and property. Another example is the automotive manufacturing industry, where plastics and textiles used in car interiors must also meet strict fire protection standards.

Oxygen index testing measures the burning characteristics of plastics and textiles and helps determine the fire risk of the materials used. Experts in various industries can select materials based on oxygen index test results to ensure that plastics and textiles can meet the required fire safety standards during use.

Overall, the oxygen index test is a very important test in ensuring the fire safety of plastics and textiles. By measuring the oxygen index of materials, we can better understand the thermal stability of materials, thereby selecting more suitable materials to protect the safety of users and property.
