Fire-Retardant High-Density Foam Animatronic Dinosaur: Compliant with California Technical Bulletin 117
How ZGDino's animatronic dinosaurs meet California Technical Bulletin 117 fire safety standards with fire-retardant high-density foam, including test results and certification documentation.
Category:Certifications & Safety · Reading time:10 min
ZGDino animatronic dinosaurs for the California market and venues requiring TB 117 compliance use certified fire-retardant high-density foam that passes California Technical Bulletin 117-2013 smolder resistance testing. This compliance is essential for indoor venues, schools, and public assembly spaces where fire marshal approval depends on documented material flammability testing.
Fire-Retardant Foam Specifications
| Property | ZGDino FR Foam Specifications | Standard Foam (Non-FR) | Test Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density | 35-45 kg/m³ | 25-30 kg/m³ | ASTM D3574 |
| Compression Set | <15% (2 2hr @ 70°C) | <25% | ASTM D3574 Test D |
| Tensile Strength | 120 kPa | 80 kPa | ASTM D3574 Test E |
| TB 117 Smolder Test | PASS (character length < 100mm) | Failed | CAL TB 117-2013 Sec D |
| FMVSS 302 | PASS (burn rate < 100 mm/min) | Not Tested | FMVSS 302 |
| UL 94 | HBF (Horizontal Burning Foam) | Not Rated | UL 94 |
Fire-Retardant Chemistry
ZGDino uses halogen-free phosphorus-nitrogen synergist FR additives that meet TB 117 compliance without brominated or chlorinated compounds, aligning with California AB 2998 restrictions on certain flame retardant chemicals. The FR additive is incorporated during foam manufacturing to ensure consistent performance across the material cross-section.
Additional Fire Safety Measures
- Silicone Case:Platinum-cure silicone is inherently self-extinguishing (UL 94 V-0 equivalent)
- Electrical Components:All wiring uses VW-1 rated flame-retardant insulation
- Internal Cavity:Fire barrier fabric (NFPA 701 rated) between foam and electrical components
ZGDino's fire-retardant foam animatronic dinosaurs comply with California TB 117 and FMVSS 302 standards, providing venue operators with the documentation required for fire marshal approval.
