The IEC 60335-1 standard regulates these aspects, establishing rigorous criteria to ensure that the plastics used do not pose a fire risk, even under conditions of prolonged use or in the absence of supervision.  <br\/><br\/>Among the most relevant parameters, the <strong>GWIT (Glow Wire Ignition Temperature)<\/strong> and <strong>the use of halogen-free flame-retardant materials<\/strong> stand out.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>Safety in Household Appliances: What the IEC 60335-1 Standard Requires<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Household appliances, especially those intended to operate unattended, must demonstrate resistance to ignition and flame propagation even in the presence of internal electrical components that can overheat. The IEC 60335-1 standard therefore imposes glow wire resistance tests, in particular: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>GWIT \u2265 775 \u00b0C<\/strong> for many internal applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>GWFI (Glow Wire Flammability Index) <\/strong>up to <strong>960 \u00b0C<\/strong> for materials subject to extreme thermal stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These requirements necessitate the selection of high-performance thermoplastic materials, even on reduced thicknesses, without compromising safety and functional integrity.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>Why a Halogen-Free Material with High Performance is Needed<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While until a few years ago the use of halogenated additives was considered the standard to ensure flame retardancy and flame stability, today the scenario has changed. The restrictions introduced by <strong>RoHS<\/strong> and <strong>REACH<\/strong> regulations, combined with the growing attention to <strong>smoke safety<\/strong> in case of fire, make the use of <strong>halogen-free<\/strong> materials preferable (and sometimes mandatory). <br\/><br\/>In parallel, trends in component miniaturization and thickness reduction require materials capable of offering <strong>UL94 V0<\/strong> on <strong>thin walls<\/strong>, without losing essential mechanical and thermal characteristics.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>LATI Compounds for High GWIT: What They Offer Differently<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To meet these requirements, LATI has developed a series of high-performance <strong>halogen-free flame-retardant<\/strong> compounds, marked with the suffix <strong>V0HF1<\/strong>. These materials are free of both halogens and red phosphorus, ensuring maximum regulatory and environmental compatibility.<br\/>Among these, <strong>LATAMID 66 H2 G\/25-V0HF1X<\/strong> stands out, a <strong>reinforced PA66<\/strong>-based compound that offers: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>UL94 V0 certification at 0.4 mm<\/strong>, where the standard usually stops at 0.75 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good processability and dimensional stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adaptability to critical components such as <strong>overmoldings, connectors<\/strong> and <strong>separators<\/strong> in appliance devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/lambda.lati.com\/Material\/latamid-66-h2-g-25-v0hf1x?culture=it-IT&amp;ui-culture=it-IT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the technical data sheet<\/a> for <strong>LATAMID 66 H2 G\/25-V0HF1X<\/strong>]<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>Glow Wire Performance: Exceeding 775 \u00b0C<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For applications requiring even higher performance in terms of GWIT, LATI offers:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>LATAMID 66 H2 G\/25-GWHF1<\/strong> (PA66 based)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LATAMID 6 H2 G\/30-GWHF1<\/strong> (PA6 based)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both are in the process of certification for <strong>GWIT of 825 \u00b0C at 1.5 mm thickness<\/strong>, well above the minimum regulatory requirement.

For projects requiring maximum safety, LATI offers not only the materials but also comprehensive technical support during the selection and design phase. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>FAQ \u2013 Halogen-free Flame-Retardant Materials and Safety in Household Appliances<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does GWIT Mean and why is it Important for the Safety of Household Appliances?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GWIT (Glow Wire Ignition Temperature)<\/strong> indicates the minimum temperature at which a plastic material ignites when subjected to a glowing wire. In the design of components for household appliances, a <strong>GWIT \u2265 775 \u00b0C<\/strong> is fundamental to comply with the <strong>IEC 60335-1<\/strong> standard, which ensures the safety of devices in case of overheating or short circuit. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>What is the Difference between GWIT and GWFI in Glow Wire Resistance Tests?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GWIT (Glow Wire Ignition Temperature)<\/strong> measures the material&#8217;s ability to <strong>not ignite<\/strong>, while <strong>GWFI (Glow Wire Flammability Index)<\/strong> evaluates its <strong>self-extinguishing properties<\/strong> once it has ignited. Both parameters are required by the IEC 60335-1 standard to ensure that plastics used in electrical appliances do not pose a fire risk. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>Why Choose Halogen-Free Plastic Materials in Household Appliances?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Halogen-free<\/strong> materials do not contain halogens (such as chlorine or bromine) and therefore, in case of fire, <strong>do not release toxic or corrosive fumes<\/strong>. Moreover, they comply with the increasingly stringent <strong>RoHS<\/strong> and <strong>REACH<\/strong> directives on the use of hazardous substances. This choice improves the safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance of products.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>What are the Advantages of LATI V0HF1 Compounds for Appliance Applications?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LATI V0HF1 compounds<\/strong> combine <strong>UL94 V0 flame retardancy even on thin walls (down to 0.4 mm)<\/strong> with <strong>high GWIT<\/strong> and <strong>absence of halogens or red phosphorus<\/strong>. They offer excellent processability and dimensional stability, making them ideal for <strong>connectors, supports, overmoldings, and electrical components<\/strong> subjected to thermal stress. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>How to Choose the most Suitable Plastic Material to Comply with IEC 60335-1?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure compliance with <strong>IEC 60335-1<\/strong>, it is necessary to select materials that combine <strong>UL94 V0, GWIT \u2265 775 \u00b0C<\/strong> (or higher), <strong>GWFI up to 960 \u00b0C<\/strong> and <strong>halogen-free and PFAS-free<\/strong> formulations. LATI supports designers and OEMs in the <strong>technical and regulatory evaluation<\/strong> of the most suitable compound, providing <strong>technical data sheets and customized application assistance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lati.com\/it\/newseventi\/news\/gwit-775-c-e-halogen-free-come-scegliere-il-materiale-giusto-per-la-sicurezza-negli-elettrodomestici\/#\">Contact us<\/a> <\/strong>to receive technical data sheets, certification data, and assistance in choosing the most suitable compound for your needs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The safety of electrical and electronic components in household appliances is one of the main challenges for designers and quality managers.
