Application

  • Designed as an interior fire protective coating used to protect spray foam insulation from the interior conditioned space of a building.
  • Can also be used in applications such as cold storage, parking garages and agricultural buildings by following additional steps to address these types of environments. Consult the Data and Application Guide for details.

Description

DC315 is a single-component, water-based intumescent coating tested to meet Building Code requirements for the fire protection of spray polyurethane foam (SPF). Tested and evaluated in the USA by UL and ICC-ES, and in Canada by ULC and CCMC. DC315 is fully AC456 compliant and satisfies the International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and many other national and international building codes. DC315 offers more tested systems to meet interior thermal and ignition barrier requirements. DC315 has also been tested as a component of exterior wall systems in accordance with the NFPA 285 and meets IBC Section 2603.5 with various architectural cladding options.


Features and benefits:

  • More certified full-scale thermal and ignition barrier tests over SPF.
  • European Union: DC315 has been tested over both medium-density and low-density spray polyurethane foam and provides an EN 13501-1 fire classification of B-s2, D0.
  • Code compliance evaluated by IAPMO ER-499 and ICC-ESR 3702 for the USA market.
  • Code compliance evaluated by CCMC #14036-R and ULC ER39793 for the Canadian market.
  • NFPA 285 tested and listed by UL File R40016 as a component of exterior wall systems with various architectural claddings.
  • DC315 manufacturing facilities are third-party listed and inspected.
  • Tested useful life, fire performance not compromised after 50 years.
  • Top coat for colour, weather and moisture protection, tested full scale via NFPA 286.
  • ANSI 51 testing for incidental food contact.
  • Passed CA-1350 - qualifies DC315 as a low-emitting material for LEEDS and Green Building standards.
  • Passed strict EPA – VOC and AQMD air emission requirements.
  • Meets Life Safety Code NFPA 101.
  • No formaldehyde, RoHS.
  • Single coat coverage on walls and ceilings.
  • Application by brush, roller and airless spray.
