The Oxygen Index Test is a method used to evaluate the combustion performance of materials, which measures the oxygen concentration required by materials under specific conditions to maintain combustion. The following are some common materials for Oxygen Index Test:
 
1. Plastic material:
Oxygen Index Test is very common in the plastics industry to evaluate the combustion performance of plastics. Common plastic materials include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polyester (PET), Polyimide (PI), etc.

2. Rubber material:
Oxygen Index Test is also suitable for the evaluation of combustion performance of rubber materials. Common rubber materials include styrene-butadiene rubber (BR), nitrile rubber (NBR), butadiene rubber (SBR), neoprene rubber (CR), ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR), silicone rubber (SR), etc.

3. Fiber material:
Oxygen Index Test can be used to evaluate the combustion performance of various fiber materials. Common fiber materials include cotton, polyester, nylon, polypropylene, acrylic, aramid, aramid, etc.

4. Foam material:
Oxygen Index Test is also widely used in the evaluation of the combustion performance of foam materials. Common foam materials include polyurethane foam (PU foam), polystyrene foam (EPS foam), polyethylene foam (PE foam), polypropylene foam (PP foam), etc.

5. Fabric material:
Oxygen Index Test can be used to evaluate the combustion performance of fabric materials. Common fabric materials include cotton fabric, polyester fabric, nylon fabric, polypropylene fabric, acrylic fabric, etc.

6. Electronic materials:
In the electronics industry, Oxygen Index Test is used to evaluate the combustion performance of electronic materials. Common electronic materials include wire and cable insulation materials, circuit board substrate materials, electronic plastic casings, etc.

In addition to the above materials, there are many other materials that can be Oxygen Index Tested, including coatings, adhesives, paper, wood, and more. Oxygen Index Test is of great significance for evaluating the combustion performance and safety of materials, and can help manufacturers and consumers choose suitable materials and ensure that their combustion behavior in specific environments meets the requirements.
