DC315 Passes Thermal Barrier Testing Over Spray Foam Polymers/ThermoSeal USA's Open and Closed-Cell SPF
IRVINE, CA – December 11, 2013 – International Fireproof Technology Inc. (IFTI) and Spray Foam Polymers/ThermoSeal USA announced today that DC315 spray-applied coating passed a certified NFPA 286 room corner test over ThermoSeal 500 and ThermoSeal 2000/2100 spray polyurethane foam at QAI Labs in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Spray Foam Polymers' General Manager Richard Ettinger stated, "I am very excited that we achieved such a great yield with the DC315 coating on both our open and closed-cell SPF."
DC315 has also passed testing on ThermoSeal 500 and Thermoseal 2000/2100 spray polyurethane foams as an ignition barrier at 18 Mills WFT, or an industry leading 90 square feet per gallon for both foams.
Gary Wolfe, Executive Vice President of IFTI, states, "We welcome Spray Foam Polymers to our ever growing family of manufacturers who will settle for nothing less than certified code compliant testing of their SPF brands. IFTI leads the industry with its catalog of tests. Any coating company can tell you their coating will work on the foam brand you spray; it is another thing to prove it with testing. If you are not using DC315 you may not be complying with the codes!"
All tests are full-scale and meet the applicable requirements of 2006 IBC Section 803.2.1; 2009 IBC Section 803.2.1 and Section 2603.9; 2012 IBC Section 803.2.1 and Section 2603.10 Special Approval for Thermal Barrier Alternatives. DC315 also meets the requirement as an ignition barrier per AC 377, Appendix X.
DC315 has passed testing on Arnette, AirTight, BASF, Bayer MaterialScience, Ecobay, Convenience, DOW, Guard foam, Icynene, Lapolla, NCFI, Gaco Western, Johns Manville, Corbond, Quadrant, SWD, CertainTeed, BioBased, Premium, Natural Polymers, SucraSeal, TVM, Versi-Foam, Thermoseal, and Henry SPF.
