Flame Control Coatings Announces Launch of 15-Minute Thermal Barrier for Spray Polyurethane Foam

Online, May 7, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Flame Control Coatings has announced the launch of Flame Control 60-60A Thermal Barrier coating for Spray Polyurethane Foam. This water-based thin film intumescent coating will provide a 15-minute thermal barrier over Spray Polyurethane Foam insulation. Flame Control 60-60A is approved for use in occupied spaces where building codes call for the spray foam insulation to be separated from the interior by a 15-minute thermal barrier.

Flame Control 60-60A should be applied over exposed spray foam insulation typically found in inhabited spaces such as roofing asseblies, drop ceilings, garages, warehouses, basements, and anywhere spray polyurethane foam is used. The use of Flame Control 60-60A will provide an alternative 15-minute thermal barrier for occupied spaces as prescribed in IBC Section 2603.4 and IRC Section R316.4

"This innovative coating allows us to meet the ICC requirements while providing an economical and easy-to-use thermal barrier coating to the spray foam industry" said Tim Lockhart, Marketing Manager for Flame Control Coatings. "The successful performance during the NFPA 286 15-Minute room corner test qualifies 60-60A to be used as an alternative thermal barrier in occupied spaces. This product is another example of the type of high performance flame retardant and intumescent coatings available from Flame Control."

Flame Control 60-60A is a water-based latex paint that can be applied by brush, roll or spray.
