Industry leading DC315 intumescent coating provides alternative Thermal and Ignition Barrier fire protection for spray foam insulation, and now offers a solution for using SPF insulation in exterior continuous insulation systems with expanded cladding options including fiber cement, aluminum and steel. Full scale NFPA 285 testing conducted by Underwriters Laboratory and evaluated by ICC-ES our DC315 offers architects and specifiers expanded insulation and cladding options when designing their projects. https://www.painttoprotect.com//R40016-Certificate-of-Comp #DC315 #NFPA285 "THE PROOF IS IN THE TESTING"

How do you measure mil thickness of DC315 applied over spray foam? Have you used the medallion method? How do you show compliance to a code official? The medallions along with the job work record, evaluation report and certified applicator certificate are a great way to show compliance and documentation for your next project. All can be found at www.painttoprotect.com and by completing the certified applicator program. Submit these with your bid package on your next project. #DC315 https://www.painttoprotect.com/ifti-dc315-certified-applic/

Compliance of Alternative Thermal Barrier Testing over Sprayfoam. Things you should know about the fire tests! https://www.painttoprotect.com//IFTI-InsertSpread-03_23_20 #DC315

Why is DC315 the right choice for spray foam contractors and manufacturers? We want our customers to be sure that DC315 has been evaluated like no other product to the point where there shouldn’t be a choice in the matter for an intumescent thermal barrier coating. With additional testing beyond what is required by code, we provide a product that is ready to be applied virtually in any spray foam application. We don’t just think it will work, we test it so we know it does, an...d we have the documentation and information to support our customers when it counts the most. If a fire should ever occur, having the documentation to support that a product was properly tested to code is crucial to reduce liability, so we make it a point to have that covered. Take a note from Mike Foley see comments. "The Proof is in the testing" All you have to do is ask or check out https://www.painttoprotect.com/ #DC315 #SFWW #Codecompliance #lifesafety See more

International Fireproof Technology Inc (IFTI) Passes National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 285 Standard According to the IBC, exterior walls of Type I, II, III or IV construction of any height that contain foam plastic insulation require additional fire testing to NFPA 285. Testing conducted by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) fire labs in Northbrook,IL evaluated DC315 intumescent coating, with protective topcoat, applied over Carlisle SealTite Pro Closed Cell spray foam w...ith an aluminum cladding and concluded the wall assembly utilizing IFTI’s DC315 met the acceptance criteria stated in the NFPA 285 standard and is Certified under UL File R40016. Our UL Certified assembly effectively meets IBC requirements. With the increased demand for continuous insulation applications DC315 now satisfies the requirements to allow SPF insulation to be used in CI applications while offering designers more flexibility in their choice of architectural metal claddings. In addition to being one of the most tested and approved products for interior fire protection, we expect our NFPA 285 designation to increase demand for both spray foam insulation and DC315. #DC315 #TheProofisintheTesting See more

Fire Resistance Vs Flame Resistance. NOT THE SAME THING! Fire Resistance typically focuses on the spread of fire after flashover and is meant to contain a fire within a compartment. Flame Resistance typically focuses on the initial developing fire within the compartment where the strategy is to reduce the chance of flashover from occurring in the first place or at least delaying it so occupants can escape.... Think of it this way- A fire starts in a hotel room, flame resistant products will slow the growth of the fire within that hotel room. Now lets say you are in the room next to the one with the fire in it, then Fire Resistance products will stop or slow the fire from leaving the first room and entering your room. So while spray foam performs well in Fire Resistance it is still required to be protected for Flame Resistance so if a person is asleep in the first hotel room they actually have a chance to escape before flashover occurs. While we see images of foam after a fire or hear comments that spray foam saved a building may be true, this is in regards to Fire Resistance AFTER flashover has occurred and needs not be interpreted that we don't need to coat foam. What most of us don't see is what transpired during the initial stages of the fire up to the point of flashover and how that can impact on the ability for persons within that area to escape....... I have. Protect your Foam! #alllivesmatter #DC315

Great Information from Brad Glazier on Fire resistance Vs Flame Resistance and the importance of protecting exposed SPF to allow enough time for occupant egress.
