WWW.QAI.ORG [email protected] INTERNATIONAL FIREPROOFING TECHNOLOGY Report No.: TJ1856-R April 15, 2014 Page 2 of 13 Test Sample Description: QAI Laboratories, Inc. conducted testing f or International Fireproofing Technology on “ BASF Enertite® NM open cell spray applied polyurethane foam coated 18 average mil w et film thickness of DC315 (1 2 average mils dry film thickness)” to evaluate heat release and flame spread properties w hen subjected to specific ignition conditions. Testing w as conducted in accordance w ith NFPA 286, 2011 Edition. This testing w as performed on December 19, 2013. The test room w as built on November 11, 2013 by QAI Laboratory personnel prior to the application of t he test sample. The three w alls consisted of 2 x 8 w ood studs, spaced 16 inches on center. The ceiling w as constructed using 2 x 14 w ood joists, spaced 16 inches on center, running perpendicular to the side w alls. The exterior ceiling and w alls w ere covered w ith 5/8” thick, Type X gypsum board. The final interior dimensions w ere 8 feet high, 8 feet w ide and 12 feet deep. On November 13, 2013, representatives from Croft Insulation sprayed the stud cavities w ith approximately 7 ½ inches of BASF Enertite® NM open cell spray applied polyurethane foam. The joist cavities w ere filled w ith approximately 14 ½ inches of BASF Enertite® NM open cell spray applied polyurethane foam. This spray foam insulation has an advertised density of 0.6 lbs/ft ³. Density measured from the tested room w as 0.65 lbs/ft ³. The back corners of the room are constructed so that they meet the criteria of NFPA 286. On December 5 th – 6th, 2013, representatives from International Fireproof Technology, Inc. coated the test module w ith an application of 18 mils w et film thickness (measured 12 mils dry film thickness using medallion method) coating of DC315. This room w as placed into a conditioning room w ith conditions that meet the requirement of this standard for at least 48 hours prior to testing. The temperature of the test chamber prior to test w as 71° F (22° C) and the relative humidity w as 38% . Ignition Source: The ignition source for the test is a gas burner w ith a nominal 12 by 12 inch orifice, filled w ith a minimum 4 inch layer of Ottaw a sand. The top surface of the burner through w hich the gas is applied is positioned 12 inches above the floor. The burner enclosure w as placed 1 inch aw ay from each w all in the test corner, opposite the door. Burner Gas Flow: CP Grade Propane w as used for burner supply gas. A calibrated mass flow meter (Asset A300110, due for calibration 3/28/14) w as used to meter flow to the burner. The 40 kW 5 minute exposure flow ed 27 l/min Propane and the 160 kW exposure flow ed 108 l/min Propane. These numbers w ere based upon the follow ing constant: 1.485 kW min/l.

The finished ceiling is 8 feet + /- 0.5 inches above the floor. The four w alls are right angles defining the compartment. The compartment contains a 30 + / - 0.25 by 80 + /- 0.25 inch doorw ay in the center of one of the 8 by 8 foot w alls. No other openings w ere present to provide ventilation. Heat Release Rate Information: All Heat Release Rate information obtained during this test utilized oxygen consumption calorimetry.

Only slight and negligible contribution from the test sample w as not ed around flames from burner for the first 5 minutes of test . From that point forw ard there w as no significant contribution of material to the intensity of flaming. Flames did not reach the extremities of the test module and flashover, as defined in the specified test designation, did not occur. Smoke Density: A peak duct smoke value of 10% (90% obscured) and a Peak Smoke Release Rate w as measured to be 1.32 m²/s 14 minutes and 58 seconds after ignition. The smoke obscuration reading w as taken in t he center of a 16 inch diameter duct. Heat Flux Information: The heat flux gauge registered a peak Heat Flux of 5.1 kW/m ² at 12:45 into test. CHARRING MEASUREMENT: All charring as a result of testing this assembly w as limited to the corner of the burner placement . There w as a “ V” pattern of char in the corner of ignition that w ent all the w ay to the ceiling, starting at the burner and ending up charring a section measuring approximately four feet in both directions to the ceiling. The ceiling itself w as completely black w ith char and soot deposition as w as each of the three w alls measuring approximately 2 feet dow n from the ceiling.
