In today’s highly regulated markets, product safety, and compliance are more than just quality indicators. They are essential requirements that manufacturers sourcing foam, adhesive, and sealing solutions look for.
At Gaska Tape Inc., we’re proud to offer UL-recognized component products that meet the strict standards set by UL Solutions (formerly Underwriters Laboratories). In this article, we’ll highlight the value of our products and how Gaska’s UL-recognized components can provide solutions for your applications.
UL Certification
UL 94; “Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances”. Gaska Tape’s recommendations:
Gaska Tape offers two product lines: the F series PVC Foam Tape and the PSF series of ECO Seal® Polyester foams. The recognized color is gray. The UL file #E58620.
We have materials available for applications that require UL94 ratings HF-1, HBF, and HB.
This standard assesses how materials behave when exposed to flame and their ability to self-extinguish or continue burning after ignition, as well as their dripping behavior under flame.
