We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "UL94",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Lock switch resists water and fire from
Lorlin Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "The WRLM miniature key-operated lock switch has a zinc alloy bright chrome-plated lock housing and up to 200 possible key combinations".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Flame retardant polymer from recycled plastic from
Axion Polymers: "Material potentially offers manufacturers a variety of new high value applications, particularly where offering a recycled content provides a marketing advantage or reduces production costs".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Lorlin Electronics
concerning its SRL-10 miniature lock-switch
- take a look at Compact lock-switch suits security applications
which says: "The SRL-10 miniature key operated lock is manufactured in the UK has up to 200 different key combinations and a five-disc lock movement operating over 60 steps".
Take a look also at the news release from Sabic Innovative Plastics, Polyester resins resist fires,
as well as Technology enables the injection moulding of hooks from Victrex USA,
and Nylon circuit breaker housings lower costs from DuPont (UK).
