DC315 Passes Alternative Thermal Barrier Testing Over Demilec Foam
IRVINE, CA–May 7, 2015–International Fireproof Technology, Inc. (IFTI) and Demilec have announced that DC 315 spray-applied fire protective coating passed NFPA 286 Room Corner Burn Testing over HeatLok Soy 200 Plus and Selection 500 SPF as an Alternative Thermal Barrier solution. Certified testing was conducted and passed at QAI Laboratories in Tulsa, Oklahoma over the last 60 days.
“We are pleased to offer DC 315 to the Demilec Contractors, giving them a single-product solution," stated Gary Wolfe, Executive Vice President of IFTI.
IFTI leads the industry with its catalog of over 175 full-scale certified tests. DC 315 is a WHI listed and inspected product, which assures the applicator, the code official, and the customer that the product being applied has been tested.
"Any coating company can tell you their coating will work on the foam brand you spray, but it is another thing to prove it with testing," said Wolfe. "If you are not using DC 315, you may not be complying with the codes!"
All tests are full-scale tests 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).
"DC 315 also meets the requirement as an Ignition Barrier per AC 377, Appendix X at an incredible spread rate of 400 sq. ft. per gallon, making DC 315 the most cost-effective ignition and thermal barrier on the market," said Wolfe. "One product, one solution for all your SPF fire protection needs!"
DC 315 is a one-coat application, water-based latex paint that offers superior fire protection over spray polyurethane foam (SPF). DC 315 applies like regular latex paint using an airless sprayer, and being water-based, it offers easy cleanup.
