DC315 Passes Ignition Barrier Testing on Henry PERMAX 0.5lb Spray Foam

ELMENDORF, TX - April 26, 2012 - International Fireproof Technology Inc. (IFTI) and Henry Spray Foam, announced today that DC315 spray applied coating, passed certified testing over PERMAX 0.5lb open cell foam as an ignition barrier.  

Senior Vice President of Product Management and Marketing for Henry, Chris Brink, stated, “I am very excited that we achieved such a great yield with the DC315 coating.  Passing Appendix X with coating applied at four hundred square feet per gallon is outstanding, and allows Permax installers to be extremely competitive when they use our foam in conjunction with International Fireproofing’s DC315 product.”   DC315 was tested per AC 377 Appendix X standards as an ignition barrier at Intertek in Elmendorf, Texas.

Gary Wolfe, Executive Vice President of IFTI, states, “We welcome Henry 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 of our testing meets the applicable requirements of 2006 IBC Section 803.2.1. / 2009 IBC Section 803.1.2 and Section 2603.9 Special Approval for Thermal Barrier Alternatives and our Ignition Barrier testing meets the requirement as an Ignition Barrier per AC 377, Appendix X.

DC315 has passed testing on Arnette, BASF, Bay Science, DOW, Icynene, Lapolla, NCFI, Gaco Western, Johns Manville-Corbond, Quadrant, SWD, CertainTeed, and Henry SPF.  

DC315 is a one-coat, water-based latex paint that offers superior fire protection over foam.  The coating meets the low VOC emission requirements for use in classroom and office environments as defined in the CA DHS Standard Practice as a low emitting material in the “Collaborative for High Performance Schools” rating system. The product applies like regular latex paint using an airless sprayer, and being water based, offers easy clean up.
