CAP508 intumescent interior acrylic paint has been tested to AS1530.3 and AS1530.4 by CSIRO in Australia and BRANZ in New Zealand. CAP508 now offers test results and opinions on a variety of interior substrates. With FRL’s of 60 and 90 minutes as well as Resistance to Incipient Spread of Flame of 60 minutes.

CAP508 offers class leading test results on a variety of interior substrates and substrate thicknesses. Copies of test results and opinions are available on request.

UL 723 Listed (Underwriters Laboratory)

This test is used as a means of measuring flame spread and smoke over a horizontal surface, resulting in either a class A, B or C rating. CAP508 is a Class A which is the best rating available for a fire retardant paint. Our manufacturing facility is inspected by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) quarterly to ensure consistent manufacturing and performance standards.

ASTM E 84

Extended For 30 Minutes Listed This test is used as a means of measuring flame spread and smoke over a horizontal surface for a period of 30 minutes with an 80kw energy source.

UL 1715

This standard describes a method for determining the contribution of textile wall and ceiling coverings to room fire growth during specified fire exposure conditions. This method is not intended to evaluate the fire endurance of assemblies, nor is it able to evaluate the effect of fires originating within the wall assembly. This method is to be used to evaluate the flammability characteristics of finish wall and ceiling coverings when such materials constitute the exposed interior surfaces of buildings.

NFPA 286 meets UL 1715 (Underwriters Laboratory)

NFPA 286: Meets UL 1715 (Underwriters Laboratory) A method for determining how interior finish materials, like paints, affect the growth of a fire in a room. It is used to evaluate the flammability characteristics of wall and ceiling interior finishes, including flashover. Flashover occurs when a fire reaches a certain point where it can ignite materials many feet away from where the fire started. CAP508 passed with no flashover.

UBC 26-2

This test is the method for evaluation of thermal barriers. A thermal barrier prevents heat and fire from passing through a wall or door. This tests a product's ability to slow the temperature rise during fire situations. CAP508 passed with exceptional results.

ASTM E 119 meet UL 263 (Underwriters Laboratory)

This test measures the ability of wall systems to stop flame or hot gases from penetrating or destroying a wall. Temperature of 1770° F. What makes Paint to Protect so impressive is that our coating reflects the heat away from the wall keeping the temperature of the wall in a safe range and the wall is kept structurally intact and in sound condition.
