The Value in UL-Certification

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is a leader in safety sciences and is globally recognized for producing safety solutions. We send many newly formulated epoxies and polyurethanes to UL for testing and certification. When a flame-retardant resin is recognized by UL, it means this resin has been tested and provides safety-related certification to manufacturers and consumers.

Our UL file contains over 40 different UL rated epoxies and polyurethanes to protect your application while ensuring normal, stable operation. Our knowledgeable Technical Sales team is ready to assist you in finding a solution to fit your needs.

We are continually adding to our UL file. Check the UL Online Certifications Directory for the most up to date listing. Epic Resins UL file

Is there a difference between "flame retardant" and "flame resistant"?

Yes. Although the words “flame” and “fire” can be used interchangeably, there is a difference between the words “resistant” and “retardant.”

A “flame resistant” material is inherently resistant to igniting and will not melt or drip when exposed to extreme heat. While flame-resistant materials can catch fire, they’re not likely to ignite from being near fire and many flame-resistant materials will actually choke a fire to the point of putting it out.

A “flame retardant” material is one that has been chemically treated to self-extinguish if it catches fire. Fire-retardant chemicals are commonly used on plastics and furniture to reduce the chance of a fire spreading.
