On July 28, 2025, Beijing Beiguang Jingyi Instrument Equipment Co., Ltd. and PolyOne Polymer (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. officially announced a strategic cooperation on the CZF-5 horizontal and vertical combustion tester, a new flame retardant material solution that meets international standards such as UL94 V-0 and IEC 60695-11-10. This cooperation marks a breakthrough in the full chain innovation of 'testing research and development application' in the field of material safety testing and polymer material modification in China.
Technology Fusion: Intelligent Devices Drive Material Innovation
The cooperation project will rely on the latest third-generation horizontal and vertical combustion testing system developed by Beiguang Jingyi, which has three core technological advantages:
Precise Temperature ControlAdopting gradient heating technology to achieve a temperature error of ≤± 3 ℃ within the range of 100 ℃ to 700 ℃, meeting the EN45545-2 R26 standard for automotive interiors and the testing requirements of ECE R118 Appendix 8;
Intelligent judgmentIntegrated AI flame recognition system, capable of automatically recording flame/flameless combustion time (with an accuracy of 0.01 seconds) and generating a three-dimensional combustion trajectory map;
green and safeEquipped with an exhaust gas treatment module, the purification efficiency of benzene derivatives reaches 99.6%.
PolyOne Polymer will provide a special flame retardant masterbatch formula, and its halogen-free flame retardant technology can enable polypropylene materials to pass UL94 5VA testing, with a 40% reduction in smoke density grade (SDI) compared to traditional materials.
Industry Impact: Reshaping Industry Chain Security Standards
This cooperation with PolyOne Polymer (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. has obtained technical certification from the China National Textile and Apparel Council. The jointly developed flame-retardant ABS material will be applied to:
New energy vehicle battery module shell (meets GB/T 18380 cable combustion standard)
Smart home appliance control panel (passed IEC 60707 hot wire test)
Rail transit interior components (compliant with ISO 5658-2:2020 flame spread rate requirements)
Beiguang Jingyi stated: 'Through deep collaboration between equipment manufacturers and material suppliers, we are establishing a fast conversion channel from laboratory testing to industrial production.'. PolyOne Polymer: The joint data platform of both parties can achieve 2000 sets/day of combustion parameter analysis, which will significantly shorten the development cycle of new materials. '
Future layout: Building a flame retardant technology ecosystem
According to the plan, both parties will establish the 'Yangtze River Delta Flame Retardant Materials Innovation Center' by 2026, with a focus on tackling key issues:
A combustion behavior prediction system based on machine learning
Industrial application of bio based flame retardants
Development of miniaturized combustion testing equipment
