Clean Room Flammability Standard

Clean Room Flammability Standard for The Semiconductor Industry (NFPA 318 [77] FMR 4910 Test Standard [78] and UL 2360 Test Standard [79])... 

The NFPA 318 deals with the protection of clean rooms whereas the FMR 4910 and UL 2360 deal with the flammability of polymers for the clean rooms. In the FMR 4910 test standard, ASTM E2058 Fire Propagation Apparatus (FPA) [31] is used, whereas ASTM El354 Cone Calorimeter [36] is used in the UL 2360 test standard. Both test standards evaluate the fire propagation and smoke release behaviors of the polymers. Eor polymers for which fire propagation behavior cannot be defined clearly, both test standards use a large-scale parallel panel test [40, 63, 78]. Figures 11.12 and 11.13, discussed in an earlier section, illustrate the parallel panel test.

DISPOSAL AND STORAGE METHODS absorb liquid in sand or inert absorbent, and place in a secured sanitary landfill atomize large quantities in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device store in a cool, dry location use only with adequate ventilation keep in the dark store only if stabilized outside storage is preferred inside storage should be in a standard flammable liquids storage room or cabinet separate from strong oxidants, alkalies, food and feedstuffs.
