This product prevents the spread of flame by developing a self-extinguishing chemical reaction. Flame Stop I-DSTM was found to be highly effective on thatching due to the flame spread rating of "10" obtained by testing using the ASTM E-84 Standard at Omega Point Laboratories. Flame Stop I-DSTM is clear, odorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive on plated steel. The cost of Flame Stop I-DSTm is relatively low, when considering ho+%r flammable thatch is and the fire risk it becomes to surrounding; materials. APPLICATION FOR THATCHING: DIPPING METHOD When dipping, make sure that all thatch is completely submerged in Flame Stop I-DST'". Keep the thatch submerged for a minimum of 15 minutes. Let it air dry for a minimum of 36 hours. Before testing thatch make certain the Flame Stop I-DSTM has had time to cure for 48 hours. When testing, hold the thatch at a 45 degree angle and try to light with a lighter, if the thatch flames for more than 5 seconds after the flame is takers away, retreat the thatch. SPRAYING METHOD Spraying should be performed utilizing an air less sprayer. Spray from the top down to all sides and underneath with a heavy coat. All thatch must be saturated with Flame Stop I-DSTM. Many times a re coat is needed for adequate saturation.

INTRODUCTION This report describes the results of the ASTM E84-84a Standard Test Method for SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF BUILDING MATERIALS', a method for determining the comparative surface burning behavior of building materials. This test is applicable to exposed surfaces, such as ceilings or walls, provided that the material or assembly of materials, by its own structural quality or the manner in which it is tested and intended for use, is capable of supporting itself in position or being supported during the test period. The purpose of the method is to determine the relative burning behavior of the material by observing the flame spread along the specimen. Flame spread and smoke density developed are reported, however, there is not necessarily a relationship between these two measurements. "The use of supporting materials on the underside of the test specimen may lower the flame spread index from that which might be obtained if the specimen could be tested without such support... This method may not be appropriate for obtaining comparative surface burning behavior of some cellular plastic materials... Testing of materials that melt, drip, or delaminate to such a degree that the continuity of the flame front is de- stroyed, results in low flame spread indices that do not relate directly to indices ob- tained by testing materials that remain in place." This test method is also published under the following designations. ANSI 2.5 NFPA 255 UBC 42-1 UL 723 This standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of mate- rials, products, or assemblies in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire condi- tions. However, results of this test may be used as elements of a fire risk as- sessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular and use.

PURPOSE The ASTIVI E84-84a (25 foot tunnel) test method is intended to compare the surface flame spread and smoke developed measurements to those obtained from tests of mineral fiber cement board and select grade red oak flooring. The test specimen sur- face (18 inches wide and 24 feet long) is exposed to a flaming fire exposure (adjusted to cause a 25 foot spread of flame along a red oak calibration specimen in 5.5 min- utes) during the 10 minute test duration, while flame spread over its surface and den- sity of the resulting smoke are measured and recorded. Test results are presented as the computed comparisons to the standard calibration materials. The mineral fiber cement board forms the zero point, while the red oak flooring is set as 100 for smoke measurements. The furnace conditions are considered under calibration when a 10 minute test of red oak decking will pass flame out the end of the tunnel in five minutes, 30 seconds, plus or minus 15 seconds. Thus, with a relative zero established by the non-combustible cement board, all test specimens are compared to select grade red oak flooring, and the results expressed as Flame Spread Index and Smoke Devel- oped Index, III.

TEST RESULTS & OBSERVATIONS The test results, computed on the basis of observed flame front advance and electronic smoke density measurements are presented in the following table. In recognition of possible variations and limitations of the test method, the results are computed to the nearest number divisible by five, as outlined in the test method. While no longer a part of this standard test method, the Fuel Contributed Value has been computed, and may be found on the computer printout sheet in the Appendix. FLAME SMOKE SPREAD DEVELOPED TEST SPECIMEN INDEX INDEX _ Mineral Fiber/Cement Board 0 p Red Oak Flooring n/a 100 Flame Retardant Reed Thatching 10 Ignition occurred on the face of the specimen at 36 seconds. The flame front then pro- gressed a maximum of 2.3 feet, achieved at 9:00 min:sec (see flame front versus time plot in Appendix). After the test flame was extinguished, the specimen continued to flame for 26 seconds and glow for several minutes before the inlet shutter was closed. Subsequent examination of the cooled test specimen showed a complete char to 10.75 feet on the exposed (bottom) surface. Severe charring was apparent on the exposed surface to a specimen distance of 12 feet. The specimen was completely burned through to 2 feet. The data sheets are included in Appendix A. These sheets are actual print-outs of the computerized data system which monitors the ASTM E84 furnace, and contain all cali- bration and specimen data needed to calculate the test results.

F I !' r • • a r r. r t a r r *r r r^ r r r APPLICABLE STANDARDS: Flame Stop I-DS has been tested to the following standards. ASTM E-84, NFPA 255, UL 723; U.S. Testing Title 4 #LA 63494 (Ether Foam), Omega Point Laboratories##8924-89133 (Reed Thatching) FAIL 25.853 (Polyurethane Foam) , NFPA 701. APPLICATION: Ensure that all materials are clean prior to application. Apply Flame Stop I-DS as is on fabric by spraying or immersing. Apply at the rate of 200 - 300 square feet per gallon on fabric, depending on the density, thickness, and weave. After application, there must be a 5 — 10% increase in the weight of the fabric. Before proceeding with full application, test in an inconspicuous area to ensure the compatibility and that the color and hand are not affected. Apply at the rate of 100 square feet per gallon on thatch and wood by spraying, rolling, brushing, or immersing. If spraying onto a vertical surface where runoff could occur, multiple applications are allowed. When doing multiple coats, wait until the first coat has penetrated before beginning the next application. One coat will require a 48- hour curing period. For spray application, use a .005 - .010 tip size and a low pressure airless sprayer. **** After treatment a 48-hour conditioning period is necessary before testing **** TESTING: A small-scale test can be performed with the utilization of a sample of the treated material and a small flame (butane lighter or match). Hold a 4" x 12" piece of the treated material vertically and apply the flame to the lower portion for 10 seconds and then remove the ignition source. The flame must self-extinguish within two (2) seconds. This test is similar to the small-scale NFPA 701 field test.
